I want to start writing short stories but i cant come up with any ideas and dont know what the structure should be. anyone want to help?
One of the best ways is just to start. Write down random tidbits of conversation, or describe a scene, or do a character profile. Before you know it, some of those little pieces will connect and you'll have a short story. It honestly take practice!
For ideas, there's a great tumblr page called "writing prompts" that I go all the time for inspiration. Another thing to try are character development prompts.
I hope this helps!
