Step 1: Write a short story
I will write a decent sized short story with the knowledge I currently possess about writing. It will probably have to be on the longer side, considering it will be showing a whole semester of work.
Step 2: Research
I will research what makes a short story a good short story like what is limited scope, or how to have good characterization. I will also research anything specific that will be going into my story, meaning, for instance, that since my main character will have superntural powers, I will research different creatures or explanations for different supernatural powers.
Step 3: Revision
I will take the information from step two and incorporate it into my story.
All of these steps may blend together a little, but this is how events should transpire, for the most part.
