Kurt Vonnegut’s Rules for Short Stories

Kurt Vonnegut’s Rules for Short Stories
(A bit like Syd Field‘s rules for screenplays)

1. Use the time of a total stranger [your viewer] in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.

2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.

3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.

4. Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.*

5. Start as close to the end as possible.

6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful
things happen to them — in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.

8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

  1. Write what you re writing as simply as possible. Don t write fancy sentences using SAT vocal words. Kurt Vonnegut called this making necklaces for Cleopatra, and his whole point was: don t do it. Never use a big word when a simpler word will do.

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Kudos

I must say you’ve done a amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Firefox. Superb Blog!

  231. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and videos, this blog could definitely be one of the most beneficial in its field. Good blog!

  234. My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
