Hello W&A Community! Today I woke up wishing to learn something new. And then I realize: I should write a short story. I hear lot about this here, at W&A's Community section. I've never created one. But there's a problem: I don't even know how to start one! Are there any good tips to begin writing short stories? I'm good at novels - but a complete newbie at this.

To be a good short story... it needs a beginning, a middle and an end. For the rest? Just ahve some fun with it!
