How to write a short story? part 2

... thought! Need to rewrite the essence, and then rewrite and reprint the second edition ?! But as the guys say on the forum - they will read less, there will be few views. Can I check ?!

And so we are writing a short story!

1. Introduction!

What and how, why and why read the novel?

2. Summary of the story, abstract.

This is done in order to attract potential readers. Trap the bird. But to write honestly what will be in the novel, and what will not. Immediately talk about the quality of the text block. The worst thing for an author is to deceive the reader's trust!

This is how I write, the English text block is not very good for me. I have been studying English for a long time and have not been actively using it for 10 years, not counting email correspondence and speaking. I used to be able to write reasonably well in English, and I knew what gerund was, past tense, present, and future. I conjugated verbs, learned words, and then ... then there was no time for this.

Now, I write in English, I still can not fully write incorrect English. There are mistakes. But I'm slowly learning again. This is a long way to go along with enlightenment. But as an author, I admit my mistakes. I study them.

But this is a little offtopic.

Move on.

3. Give a brief description of the world

But with this, on the one hand, everything is simple, since our world is modern, it is not particularly necessary to describe it. But the ancient world, where you need to explore everything. Describe not only the world but also clothes, weapons, food, it has changed over the millennia. Everything is different. But the nature of man is still the same. It's just that modern people, have lost faith, have lost their instincts, their excess ability to survive. Since the modern world in most cases does not require people to use them. It's like my English. If you do not use something, for a long time, and if it is something, you did not know perfectly, but superficially, memorize and remember while you need it. This knowledge as quickly came, so quickly left.

Therefore, before writing the world, you need to thoroughly study everything. And for this, it will take more time than writing a novel. But it's easier for me, since I know the history of the Silk Road, though not all segments are true. From our country to China and partially to the Principality of Ryukyu.

4. A brief description of the characters' characters.

How it looks like the color of hair, eyes, skin, teeth. Sanguine, choleric. phlegmatic ... and something like that. Brave or cowardly, mean or noble.

Their preferences, and what they do not like.

5. The main scenes that will be in the novel (apparently for 20,000 - 40,000 words) and this is about 34-70 chapters.

Opening Scene - Empire of Tan

Mid Stage - The Kingdom of Tsao

The final scene - Mountains of Light

And between these main scenes, there should probably be intermediate ones?
