Thank you Dr. Yildiz for including me in this story. I smiled when I read it because I was not intentionally trying to write within the short-form story guidelines.

This approach is something I have been doing for awhile. My goal is to offer a small piece of content with one idea that my reader can quickly consume.

I do this using my acronym template. It allows me to build out multiple points around a single topic. Sometimes I include the entire acronym in a single story. Other times I break up the acronym and parse it out in chunks which I guess are now called short-form stories.

Bolding the first line of text is something I do for emphasis. I try to use all of the graphical elements Medium offers its writers. And when I need something they don’t offer, I build it myself.
