Write a short story about a main character who undergoes a change or learns something. If you feel your creativity is lacking, remember writing about what you know, your own personally experiences or those of your friends and family are easy to turn into an entertaining short story. Include the following elements in your short story:
A clear setting – the time and place of the story
A plot – series of events that builds to a dramatic climax
A narrator to tell the story
Effective descriptions using sensory details
Dialogue to develop the characters
Error-free grammar, including use of consistent verb tense
