Irish writer, William Trevor calls the short story the "art of the glimpse."
What is your story or poem trying to glimpse into? Once you know the answer, your structure can be created and refined.
First, you may need to write yourself to the place where the glimpse is revealed through journaling, freewriting, writing from prompts, or writing letters from characters.
If you've been keeping journals for a long time, read back through them to find those glimpses.
Have you ever found a forgotten story in your journals that offered a glimpse for your revision? Please tell us about it in Comments.
