I just realized the first story I sent was erased by someone and rewritten with an essay talking about "The Eclipse." I have restored the original story that I wrote if you would like to read it. Anyway, thank you I appreciate it. I didn't use any specific method when writing these stories in terms of structure and/or character development. I mainly just went with whatever I thought was an awesome idea, and how good it would fit with the plot itself. However, I do make sure the protagonists have some kind of emotional conflict and inner struggle they eventually must address. All three stories I sent you have characters that are dealing with something, whether it be shame with having erectile dysfunction, the grief with getting your eggs stolen, or deciding whether or not to get off of a bus knowing that it is going to crash with a bunch of people riding it. Character creates story. Hope that helps, have fun.
