What do you include when you write a short story? What does it mean to show and not tell? How much setting is appropriate, or description?
These and other writing tips are here in this 53 minute video that is a must see for anyone who wants to write or write better, presented by USA Today bestselling author Dan Alatorre.

This is a good video, Dan. I didn’t manage to finish it as I need to get started with my day job now, but I’ll go back and finish it later.

I’m glad you like it. Literally, when I started out I thought this thing would be 15 minutes long. And as it got close to being an hour long I realized there’s a lot of things I can tell people about how to improve their writing just in one short story example. I could probably do two other 60 minute videos on that one story and talk about different aspects of why I put things where I did. I’m not sure how interesting it would be for99.9% of the people out there, but for the 1% or 1/10 of 1%, it might be a really good tool.

I found this really helpful Dan. I loved the Indiana Jones reference and the twirling fingers, etc! And how you explained all the elements of the story and how you put them together.
