This got a good response. Please continue to read the rest of the mini series.
It is not easy to tell a compelling story in 32 lines or less. And even tougher to accomplish in 24 lines. I wrote with a clear objective of 32 line short story due to their being a number of topics. These storys could easily be novels but they are short storys, an art in itself. So yes, Pacing is critical @
oats. My advice is, start your short stories as close as you can to the final line. Beginning Middle End is rather outdated in this day and time.
@
dead man , I definitely look at writing as a challenge. All the shit I write has a certain stigma to it. I write soundtracks so the emotion conveyed is always different. I've written a lot of pieces (over 50) with a 'currant' running through it. At this point its become more about the story for me, more so than Rhyming. I consider myself a writer but at heart Im an Emcee/Rapper/Poet.
