How To Write An Award Winning Short Story

When hard-working office worker Zara wakes up in the body of Lavinia Ruthbell, the most hated villainess in the empire’s most popular romance novel, she has one goal: to avoid her death flag at all costs. In the original story, Lavinia was the fiancée of the cold and powerful Duke of Clyne, Adrian Valmont. But Lavinia’s obsession with Adrian and her schemes against the novel’s heroine led to her public execution. Zara is determined to rewrite Lavinia’s fate and live a quiet life far from the spotlight. Unfortunately, Lavinia’s reputation is already ruined, her engagement is still in effect, and the System that governs her new life has an annoying obsession with romance quests. To survive, Zara has to win Adrian’s favor—or at least ensure he doesn’t want her dead. But when Adrian starts acting unexpectedly kind and the System’s quests take an unexpected turn, Zara begins to wonder: is she playing the game, or is someone else pulling the strings?

A short story series consisting of a few stories. First up is a misunderstanding between a married couple and their reconciliation. Second is an odd couple: a man and his ghost girlfriend. Many stories will come so will probably update the synopsis every now and then. I will change the writing style and put some raunchy parts in it. (update) This is starting to become a continuous mess. I hope I can finish it decently.

A collection of usually one shots, with some having multiple parts. Written by an underworked-but-tired-anyways author lol

This is a book of short stories based on nightmares. Each chapter will offer a new thrill as we dive into the dreams of others to face their fear as our own.

Just some stories because I want to write. Sorry for the bad English (not my first language).

DROPPED this is a story i made while i had free time, for now it's just a test since it's the first time i write something. English is not my first language so there may be some mistakes. About the story: I was always looking for a good novel with some nice magic system or something and since i didnt find much around i thought i could give it a try. It may be slow at first since i don't want it to be the classic novel where mc is op and knows everything, i just want to make it as realistic as possible with a mc which is not a hero but just a normal guy who gets a chance to use magic while living his life day after day. There will be No Harem but there may be some romance, it will depend on how the story will develop. Your sincerily, Malthazar.

If you want to read short, interesting stories to pass time, then give this a try.

This little book, this short collection of short stories, wasn't made to conquer the world. It was created to send a message, to reach people, to whisper in their ears with just one short phase: "I exist". All these stories hace just that in common, that whisper.

A collection of short stories (Primarily ones written by me, but if you want yours added email me at DeJeL@myself.com). These short stories will rarely have anything in common, however if the author is one other than myself it will be listed directly under the title. (each short story will be it's own chapter.)
