Tips & Tricks
- After carefully scrutinizing this story, we should keep in mind to develop an atmosphere which provides the hints of the surrounding (if surrounding in your story you feel necessary to show it) Eg "cut down any wood" , "monk father" these lines somewhere depict that the son is in the mid of dense forest (in literature you can call it wood or meadows)
- It is a must to describe the action of your characters of your tale. Please note actions. In micro tale you can avoid showing the background (like their education, financial situation etc) or other unnecessary things because you are require to keep your tale crisp and micro. But you have to provide relevant details on the actions, Eg - "he mar, he strive, he cut down any wood" or "wet socks turns blood stained" these depict the son's hard work or toil and his long search for his father.
- These things (above mentioned) not only helps the reader to imagine in his head but also helps the author in portraying a relationship/kinship your characters shares among themselves.
- Also it is a good trick to make your ending quite dramatic. As this also makes the reader connect with your talemore effectively. Eg in this story his son lay dead as a "birthday present" on his "monk father's lap"
