Short Stories

For those pupils interested in the 'short story' strand, these are online resources that will refresh, reinforce and reinvigorate your understanding and appreciation for fiction and the short story in particular. If you are interested in pursuing a novel, many of the elements you will come across here will also apply.
Please write your comments , questions and queries.
I am still trying to figure out where you can write your drafts for peer review etc and where we will eventually publish your works.
Any suggestions?
