A short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format. This format or medium tends to be more pointed than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the 20th and 21st century sense) and novels or books. Short story definitions based upon length differ somewhat even among professional writers, due somewhat in part to the fragmentation of the medium into genres. Since the short story format includes a wide range of genres and styles, the actual length is mitigated somewhere between the individual author's preference (or the story's actual needs in terms of creative trajectory or story arc) and the submission guidelines relevant to the story's actual market. Guidelines vary greatly among publishers.

Many short story writers define their work through a combination of creative, personal expression and artistic integrity. As a result, many attempt to resist categorization by genre as well as definition by numbers, finding such approaches limiting and counter-intuitive to artistic form and reasoning. As a result, definitions of the short story based upon length splinter even more when the writing process is taken into consideration.

Short stories have their origins in oral story-telling traditions and the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that quickly comes to its point. With the rise of the comparatively realistic novel, the short story evolved as a miniature version, with some of its first perfectly independent examples in the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann. Other nineteenth-century writers well-known for their short stories are Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, Nikolai Gogol, Guy de Maupassant, Boleslaw Prus and Anton Chekhov. Short stories were a staple of early-19th-century magazines and often led to fame and novel-length projects for their authors. More recently, short stories have been reprinted in anthologies, categorized by topic or critical reception. Today many authors release collections of their short stories.

November 19, 2009

Directed by Roland Emmerich, who has plenty of experience with disaster movies, 2012 is simply about people trying to survive the end of the world.

A custom essays is usually a short piece of writing. It is often written from an author's personal point of view. Essays can be literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. The definition of an essay is vague, overlapping with those of an article and a short story. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (e.g. Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Co... (read more)

I wish I knew earlier what I am about to share with you. It would have saved me at least 6 months of my time. You see it took me 6 months to finally figure out what it really takes to make my breasts grow. Here’s my story. Ever since I was a teenager I was made fun of by my friends for having the flattest chest. If I cut my hair short and grew sideburns, I’d pass off as a guy. The jokes stopped when I went to college only to be replaced by rude stares and giggles behind my back. No one said anything to my face, but I knew what they were all whispering about. As a result, I became a... (read more)

8. The Second Pillar Of Writing - How To Use Clauses
November 12, 2009

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb: She promised. [This is an independent clause.] Although she promised [This is a subordinate clause introduced by the signal word 'Although.'] Independent clauses contain a subject and a verb and they can stand on their own as sentences. Subordinate clauses contain a subject and a verb, which are introduced by special words called subordinators.

9. Putting Social Media in Perspective
November 12, 2009

A few months ago the buzz around social media was at its fanatical height. Everyone was talking about the new way to connect. Why, even Oprah was Twittering. Fast forward a few short months and now, thanks to media escapades like Balloon Boy, the news about social media is not so rosy. Just this weekend, the Vancouver Sun ran an article warning that Twitter can be a legal minefield (and they are right). Is social media losing its lustre as people begin to realize that its not the miracle cure for all business ailments? Yes – and thank goodness for that. Is social media about to implode...

11. NYC Cop Marc Morales: Swine Flu In NYC
November 10, 2009

After a whole shift riding that damn patrol car, I decided to walk -to keep the circulation flowing on my numb legs- from the Precinct to the Blues Bar & Grill, on Second Avenue. Not only was the joint packed, but noisy as hell. It smelled of burnt chicken wings. Not having much to do this glorious (high up in the 70s), Friday-afternoon, I told Saleem, the bartender, to run me a tab. I was on my third beer chaser when a huge guy -who was being loud and obnoxious- at the end of the bar all of a sudden keeled over. Pandemonium broke. Then Silence engulfed the joint.

12. Edgar Allan Poe's Unity Of Impression - How To Write A Short Story
November 05, 2009

When I sat down to write my mini story on "Alzheimer's" I pretty much had on mind Edgar Allan Poe's writing principle: Unity of impression. To bind the story together I used an object (a 100-burnt out light bulb) that would mirror and symbolize human life: that it eventually burns out. Poe held that a good work has to be short enough to be read in one sitting. If it requires two sittings, the unity of impression and effect is damaged. That is why he was so critical of Milton's long poem "Paradise Lost." Because of that long-held belief, Poe wrote only one novel: "The Narrative of A. Gord... (read more)

The short story, as the name suggests is fundamentally'short' which runs in length from a sentence to 4 pages, or to short stories that may be a hundred pages long.
