Edgar Allan PoeA short story must have a single mood and every sentence must build towards it.
About This Quote
The piece should have a single mood and every sentence should build towards it. A story must have a mood and a plot that builds up to it. The mood of the story should change over the course of the piece. It's important that you keep this in mind while writing a short story because if it stays the same, there will be no point to it. In order to make sure your story has a beginning, middle and end, you will need to make sure all the sentences build up towards the main mood.
