SHORT STORIES
If you fancy some light relief from whatever you’re working on right now, read one of these.
Written to be performed in front of an audience, in five minutes, these stories are based on principles of good speech writing.
- Hook them in with your first sentence.
- Create a sense of anticipation in the midst of uncertainty. Drama.
- Don’t use big fancy words. Avoid over adjective-ising.
- Vary the pacing. Pause for dramatic effect.
- Write in scenes the audience can imagine.
- Chose a theme that uplifts an important human value.
- Use present tense if you can.
- Build a clear beginning, middle and end.
