STEPS IN WRITING A SHORT LITERARY PIECE

I. CHOOSING A TOPIC –

-Brainstorm ideas. Write down what themes interest you.


The key is to identify what subject will keep you motivated. Example: Love,
Death, Hope,
- Identify your personal expertise. Having prior knowledge on one of your
favorite themes will expedite your writing process. It helps your confidence
too if you already feel a bit like an expert.
- Research your top themes. Do a bit of background research on your
favorite theme.
- Narrow your topic. After doing your research, pick the topic that makes the
best candidate for writing.

II. FORMULATING A THESIS STATEMENT

-Define your position on the situation. Your thesis statement should state where you
stand and why. This should be written in about one sentence with concise details. Other
parts of your introduction will give background details to support where your opinion
came from and why you support it

- Consider elements necessary to prove your point. Think about details that make your
point valid. Depending on the content you are giving an opinion about, you may need to
review it again to ensure your points are clear and your thesis statement is concise and
solid

- Use an example paper to help develop idea. There are example essay papers you can

read to help you create ideas.

STEPS IN WRITING A SHORT LITERARY PIECE (Continuation)

III. ORGANIZING AND DEVELOPING IDEAS

When writing the first draft of your text, focus on content only. Remember the following
points
a. The opening paragraph (introduction) should present the topic.
b. The body (discussion) paragraphs should each present one aspect of the general topic
and begin with a topic sentence that will orient the reader to what follows within the
paragraph. Provide enough supporting sentences for the topic sentence, using examples,
explanations, facts, opinions, and quotes.
c. The ending (conclusion) should present summative remarks and repeat the text’s key
idea or thesis in other words. Try to finish with a strong statement that will have your
reader asking for more.
d. Try to diversify the words and phrases you use as much as possible, using synonyms,
descriptive and figurative language, while considering the expected writing style of your
text.
e. If time permits, read your draft very generally and redraft, making immediate global
changes you feel are urgent. Don’t be too harsh on yourself and do not focus on fine
nuances in meaning at this point.

IV. USING ANY LITERARY CONVENTIONS OF A GENRE

- Narration. Narration is how the narrator communicates directly to the reader.


- Description. Transmitting a mental image of the particulars of a story through
descriptions.
- Exposition. May be used to add drama to a story, but too much exposition at one time
may slow the pace of the story.
- Summarization. Condenses events to convey, rather than to show, what happens
within a story. Effective use of summarization requires a balance between showing and
telling, action and summary, with rhythm, pace and tone playing a role.
- Introspection. Used to convey the thoughts of a character, allowing the expression of
normally unexpressed thoughts.
- Recollection. A character remembers a detail or event. It plays a vital role in conveying
backstory by allowing writers to convey information from earlier in the story or from
before the beginning of the story.
- Emotion. Conveys the feelings of the character, and is a vital component of creative
writing.
- Action. Action is the demonstration of events as they are happening in a story, and may
help readers feel as if they were participating in the plot.
- Transition. Transitions in fiction are words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or
punctuation that may be used to signal various changes in a story, including changes in
time, location, point-of-view character, mood, tone, emotion, and pace.
