I ask because I'm somewhat inclined to start writing a short fiction story (which I've never done before).

I have lots of true stories to build on and any great fiction borrows from truth. What other stylistic, thematic, and architectural guidelines should I focus on?

I look forward to moving to specifics of the story itself once the discussion on general attributes of fiction has been extinguished. ]]> Artists Weightroom freeztar http://hypography.com/forums/artists-weightroom/21321-elements-fiction.html
