Hi
I was hoping someone could help me with some confusion that has arisen while using the short story template.
I have completed one complete story form.
I understand that in a short story you have to limit the scope of the argument (depth or breadth or combination)
My question is which technique is the Short Story Template using.
For example my M v IC Issue is hope. In the scene creation section there are references to illustrating hope but not its counterpoint dream.
So I guess my question boils down to whether I should only illustrate the areas shown in the scene creation section (This scene represents...)?
Grateful for any ideas.
Thanks
Neil

Re: Short Story Template
The template is a guideline geared toward brevity. That said, use whatever seems appropriate for your story.
You may certainly introduce Dream into your story, especially as a counterpoint to Hope. It can be done as simply as saying, "David's dreams came crashing down and all he was left with was a little hope that things still might work out for him."
