How to write a short story
Various educators teach rules governing the length of paragraphs. They may say that a paragraph should be 100 to 200 words long, or be no more than five or six sentences. But a good paragraph should not be measured in characters,words, or sentences. The true measure of your paragraphs should be ideas.
Write in short paragraphs, typically no more than three sentences per paragraph. Write concise, direct sentences, often no more than 25 words per sentence. At the start of a news summary, focus on the most recent information, including as much as possible about who, what, where, when, why and how.
Most short stories seem to be between 1,500 words and 7,500 words long so about 3- 30 pages long
(a typical printed page is somewhere between 250 and 450 words) depending on font and print formatting.
