Questions

I am wanting to start writing, but want to start off slow. Is it good to start off writing a short story, or am I just being lazy. should I just jump into an attempt at a novel? Please help, I have great Ideas, and people tell me I’m a great story teller, but I want to take it to another level. I just don’t know much about the ‘next level’.

I’m writing a short story about the conversation between a warrior and a tavernmistress. I need some names that are fantasy like, but are still kinda modern.

What I wish to do is this: I wish to develop a plot for my short story from a raw idea, while developing it gradually, adding ONE subplot (so as to make it short, but interesting), and developing my characters, but most of all, I wish to have a jolly good time doing it, without thinking of the amount of responsibility I must take in order for it to be a career. I already know that it is a great responsibility, but I do not wish to think in those terms, for it shall only spoil my fun, and make it so that I am not motivated to do it for the long term.

I Also wish to do it using only a notebook and pen, for it is all I have at my disposal.
