The 7 Types of Short Story Opening, and How to Decide Which is Right for Your Story

A short story is like a chess game: The opening is a huge part of whether you win or lose. The first sentence of a short story doesn't just "hook" readers, it also sets the tone and launches the plot.

Sure, the opening sentences are important in novels, too. A strong beginning, in a novel, can help provide momentum that will carry the reader all the way to the last page, sometimes in one sitting. But short stories are different: the first sentence, or the first paragraph, often hangs over the whole rest of the story. Many short stories are really about one idea, or one situation, and that's what the opening sentences establish.

A Decaying Fantasy World of Composite Photos

A Decaying Fantasy World of Composite Photos

0diggsdigg

It’s hard to tell fiction from reality in these dreamlike photo compositions by Jim Kazanjian. Each looks as if pieces of the world have been drawn together by some unknowable force, colliding in a dark world of smoke, fire and water.

Since receiving his MFA from the Pasadena California based Art Center College of Design in ’92, Kazanjian has worked professionally as a commercial CGI artist in both television and game production. He has collaborated with such notable clients as Nike, Adidas, NBC, CBS, HBO, NASA, HP, Intel and others. See more of his fantastic work at kazanjian.net.

Benjamin Starr

Posted by Benjamin Starr

Benjamin Starr is known in some circles as the most amazing man in the universe. He once saved an entire family of muskrats from a sinking, fire engulfed steamboat while recovering from two broken arms relating to a botched no-chute wingsuit landing in North Korea. When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of friends and living out his nomadic nature. You can follow his movements on twitter @BenjaminStarr

Vintage ad for women who have no sex appeal

Times have changed: From a different era, when women weren’t expected to achieve—from fashion magazines constantly shoving it down our throats—the unrealistic goal of the “emaciated runway model” look.
