Writing short stories online can be a great way of expressing yourself. They are fun and enjoyable and more and more people are taking to story writing and discovering a new world of creativity and imagination. With the help of this article, interested story writers can gain a better perspective into the art of writing short stories. Before you start to write short stories online, identify the audience for your story. Is it aimed at teenagers, children, women, scholars, or intellectuals? This will help you decide the tone of the story and decide the language that you are going to use for the story. For children, the style of writing will be simpler and more animated; for intellectuals you have the freedom to use longer sentences and heavier words and expressions. Another thing that is important before you start writing online stories is to do the necessary research for the story. While all writers have creative license, there must be some factual foundation that the story is based on. Even if you are writing a fantasy, it might be worthwhile to research different mythologies and fantasies. When writing online stories most writers start by providing a lot of details right at the beginning. It’s better to grab your reader’s attention from the start. No point in beginning the excitement from chapter number four. Most readers may never reach that far, if the beginning doesn’t grip them. Build the action and suspense in the story and engage the interest of the reader till the climax. The conclusion or the climax of the story is the right place for you to tie all the loose ends together. The perfect end is like the ribbon that is tied around a gift with great flourish. The essence of writing short stories online is to have a concrete beginning, middle and end (like we were taught in school!). Whatever style of writing you may choose, the basics will remain the same. If the story is not organized well, the reader may end up baffled and confused.
