The Plot Genie: Short-Short Story (The Plot Genie Supplemental formula no. 6)

Bold Venture Press presents the sixth edition of The Plot Genie Supplemental Formulas, complimenting the original "Plot Genie Index." This edition was designed to help authors in constructing the “Short-Short Story,” popularized in magazines of the era like Liberty and Collier’s. Short-short stories were written to fill a single page. Designed for light entertainment and fast reading, this form of story-telling (now referred to as "flash fiction") has become popular in recent years as reader’s attention spans are divided between an ever-increasing information overload.

The Plot Genie: Short-Short Story supplemental formula is a great learning tool to encourage youngsters to unleash their creativity. Download the "Plot Robot" from the Bold Venture Press website, or use an online random number generator, to select various plot elements for story construction.

Use this Plot Genie supplement to tell the basics—brisk plots, fast characterizations, an economy of words. Get in, get out—that’s the modern way, and satisfying readers is the Plot Genie way!*
