    This document provides guidelines for writing a short story about a small moment from one's life. It instructs the writer to focus on a single event that occurred over a brief period of time, to show rather than tell by including descriptive details that engage the five senses, and to write in the present tense using few "-ed" verbs. It also recommends including feelings about why the moment is important and minimizing dialogue. The writer is then prompted to select one of their small moments to describe based on these guidelines.
