A short story idea (with conflict) that can be written in ten pages?
I’m having trouble coming up with a short story idea for my 4h fair, I wrote one story but I went over the ten page limit by three pages. so I’m looking for some new idea’s! more of a plot then an idea because it is the conflict that I am having issues coming up with. thanks!
The story i already wrote cant really be shortend, if anything i’m gonna make it bigger
The way to learn to write conflict is to create a likable character and give them a specific story goal, i.e. Sixteen year old Kelsey Jones wants to find out if her twin sister April really committed suicide. Now list at least a dozen things–including any antagonists and weaknesses the POV character has–that can keep them from that goal. Don’t pull any punches, make some of them dire. You should now have some ideas for scenes where the POV character has to overcome those obstacles to arrive at the climax. List them from bad to worse as the story’s conflict should worsen as the story progresses, saving the most dire one for right before the climax. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have good short story topics on this? I can only think of one and it is so cliche i’d rather just use it as a last resort. Anyone who can help will be appreciated, thank you!
Try researching the short story “The Scarlet Ibis.” It discusses a handicapped boy and how his brother helps him overcome many obstacles.
Hope that helps!

How many times have you lamented the fact that it just seems as if today, as prices on items that you buy for your home become more expensive, the quality seems to have declined? Real ironclad guarantees are just too hard to come by and the good old fashioned lifetime guarantee is all but extinct.
So now Dream Maker Spas provides a complete lifetime guarantee on every spa that they sell. This means that once you bring home one of their spas, if at any time in your life the inner shell or outer casing structure cracks or warps, it will be replaced. Thats for your entire life!
No doubt about it but that they definitely would not offer this type of promotional perk unless they felt for sure that their spas would last a lifetime. Also at the same time that they are doing this, they also are including more feature options in their spas like waterfalls.
Genuine LED lighted waterfalls that completely change the look and mood. Just imaging what it’s like to lounge in a swirling hot tub with a mood lit waterfall tumbling down your shoulders? Sound relaxing?
Well it is and this along with their very affordable pricing structure that gives you more spa for your money is why Dream Maker Spas are now #1 worldwide for rotationally molded spas. That’s number one on the entire planet!
