The plots contained in this book all derive from public domain short stories and are a great accompaniment to my previous book ‘Writing Children's Stories: Unique method using public domain classics for inspiration’.
A list of characters is itemized at the beginning of each story followed by a detailed story synopsis. As a bonus, each plot ends with a list of ideas on how you might expand the story, and in some cases, how you might turn the plot into a series of books.
The best way to use these plots is to give the plots a title, add names and characteristics for the characters, add and remove characters, add twists and turns, and even place the story and setting in the culture and time period of your choosing. When you have done that, add your name and publish your book! With so many variables for you to play with no two stories will be the same.
This book of short story plots is for people who don't have the time, or the desire, to spend hours searching the Internet to find classic public domain stories. If you would rather spend your time writing and not on research you will find a selection of story plots ready and waiting for your creative slant.
Please note: this is a book of story plots to get your ideas flowing for creating your own unique short stories. It is not a book about creative writing.
