How to start writing a short story Videos

Hi Travis! Speaking about short stories- I wrote my first one but, I need to wait until March 14th, 2015 to do my first edit. I read you short story book, "A Midnight Stroll" and that had seven short stories. It was a bit scary for me. For you. The short story book was 225 pages! That is just absurd! Just seven short stories take up that much? Jesus! Come on, Travis! Anyways- I need your help! I have an idea for a short story, it is based off your short story, "Squirrel". It will be about a man that lives in the Rancacoo Wewds I am trying not to enclose the location. He has a girlfriend and he having a job as an editor for a publishing company / publisher. One scene I have in my head is this- him going to the Revolutionary War Reenactment. He gets paid for it. Reenactments for wars is also his job. Then, he goes shooting etc. Can you help me build off of that idea. Make a video on How to build off an idea or story for writing Wednesday or for the writing tips video. Please Trav. 

Where can I print these worksheets? 

Nika is crazy attractive.

@ZenBarracuda: The most important thing you have to remember is that whatever your goal in life is, whatever you hope to achieve, whether professional, marriage, kids, writing..whatever, there is a "yetzer hara" inside of you, or a "evil inclination" as exists in every man, that will try to spoil your dreams & make you fail so that you won't succeed. Your job in life is to fight the yetzer hara and work hard at achieving what will make you a fulfilled person. That is all you have to remember!

Scott, Some good advice here. Thank you. However, I didn't get the name of the book you're recommending. Could you post it for us? Appreciate you.

my story :D Its called, The Basement. "HONEY! Dinner is ready!" My mother called. "MOM WOULD YA STOP SCREAMING AND CALLING ME HONEY?!" I screamed back at her. By the way, my name is Sophie. I came and sat down at the table looking at the overcooked burnt hamburger. I took a bite, then gagged right infront of my mom. "Sophie Brooks! Why would you ever, (sob) gag at my food!?" My mom shot at me with a sad tone. "GO EAT IN YOUR BEDROOM!" She boomed. I was ok with eating in my bedroom. So I walked in and sat on my bed. I hadn't gotten a drink so I went to the basement to get some pop. "Coke? Nah. Sprite? Eww. Mr. Pibb? Gross! Where'd all my Pepsi go!?" I said looking through all of the pop. Just then I heard a noise. It was coing from something covered with a blanket. I walked abesentmindedly to it. I took off the blanket. I gasped looking into the dreadful sight I had found. It was a portal. Covered with blood and dust... On top of it was a real head.. It was a Great Dane. My father.. "Dad..?! No.. I thought.. no NO!" I was confused. I had been told he died in a car crash. It wasn't true. I felt something. Pulling me into the portal. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" I screamed. Before I knew it I had gone through. I breathed heavily. I was sitting on a solid type of rock. I opened my eyes and all I saw were mangled, bloodied LPS Great Danes. But the catch was, they were still walking and breathing. I got up and walked. I head 1 great Dane walking by me say "WATCH WERE YA GOIN'!" He didn't sound pleased seeing a Short Haired cat. I trembled and fell backwards. I was shot with an arrow in my back. I was being pulled to some palace.. some red dreadful palace. I was put down. "STOP YOU RUFFIANS!" I screamed trying to sound threatening. I wasn't. They laughed and laughed. "SILENCE!" The one in the throne boomed. They were all quiet and they moved to the side so I could see him. For I saw a Great Dane missing his head. "Sophie Brooks.." He said loudly. I could tell he was trying to sound quiet. "Do you know who I am..?" He said partially quiet. I replied. "My... my.. m-m-my Dad..?" Shuttering I finally got it out. "YES. That is me." He boomed. "JOIN ME SOPHIE! WE CAN LEAD THE UNDERWORLD TOGETHER!" I didn't bear to say yes. "NO DAD!" I screamed as loud as my lungs could scream. "Ah.. FINE MY DAUGHTER.. THEN. WE. MUST. FIGHT..." He boomed so loud it hurt my little eardrums. "Fine.. fine be that way I will fight you.." I said actually threatening. My claws unsheated. I pounces my claws sinking into his back. He called something. Snakes. I screamed as they bit me and poison started flowing in my veins. It was just the when something happened. Something big. My paws started to glow green. My once blond fur changed diamond blue. A plasma ball. I had made a plasma ball. Without hesitation, I shot it at my dad, the castle exploded. And I had died, also. "huh.. Hello..?" I opened my eyes to a beautiful blue sky. "Hello there Sophie. We are the angels." A beautiful white husky said. "My name is Shooting-Star" She said. "Hello Shooting-Star.. Can you tell me where I am..?" I said softly. "Sophie.Last night you died. Your in heaven." She said. "But there is no worry here. You will be ok." I sighed. "Ok Shooting-Star." I said with a yawn. The night fell and I grew tired. I fell asleep on the cloud. The soft night breeze on my fur felt nice. As I remembered all of the good times... ☆The end☆
