They suggest seven steps to write a short story. Hum, this is the basic discovery writing (write by the seat of your pants) method, I think. Still, it's a nice outline of the steps you might want to use to grind out a story, any story.... Here you go:
1. Write the basic story in one sitting. (Just write something!)
2. Find the protagonist. Who is the main character? Who hurts, who learns, who...
3. Write the perfect first line. Crunch!
4. Make a scene list. What are the steps, events, places... what happens?
5. Do any research that's needed
6. Revise! Clean it up, and...
7. Publish! Or for our 6x6 fun and games, SUBmit it to the list!
Rinse, lather, and repeat!
Write? YES!
