Which of the following is useful during the prewriting stage of short-story writing? A. revising, to make sure the plot of the s
tory makes sense and is interesting B. looking for opportunities to show through dialogue rather than tell through description C. creating a detail and purpose planner D. sending the story to local publications and writing contests
Options A, B and D are all useful things to do when writing a short-story. However, all of these are only useful once the story has been written. On the other hand, option C is useful in the prewriting stage. By creating a detail and purpose planner, we can have a better idea of what the objective of our story will be. It can also help us identify which details are important to include. By doing this, it can help us guide our writing process.
