>Elaborate if you will.
that's pretty much it. i thought, hey isn't it neat if i could symbolize someone's broken dreams and disappointment by making him look for his lost cat in a forest fire? then there's nothing because i couldn't come up with a plot to drive it. a scene is the best i could do. sometimes i get lucky and get ideas as i write, and sometimes the piece ended up becoming drawn out with no substance.
>How can you illustrate those?
i'm just going to read through people's short stories to familiarize myself with how plot works and also get ideas while checking myself to not plagiarize. gonna pass on the thread prompt for now, though, as i'm in the middle of trying something out.
