The structure of the short story is a bit different then that of a regular story. For one you do not have the time or luxury of taking time to develop the protagonist. It must be done quickly. The reader must be drawn into the story almost immediately. Novice writers are often given, this advice.
For three years now I have been a pick up artist and have read most of the ‘main’ seduction guides and manuals out there. Some of them are good and offer some good advice but what I found was non give a more complete picture than Magic Bullets by Mystery Method (previously called venusian arts handbook)
It is a great feeling to come to the end of a rough draft. Knowing that you can do it, that you have created a complete novel is something that does not get old, even after writing many novels. It does not matter how good you get at the writing process, every new rough draft will need to be edited. If you have mastered the basics such as good grammar, formatting and punctuation, some of the editing steps will easier than the others.
