Question conventions of drama in story writing
Hi everybody!

I have been looking for the conventions of drama in short story writing but can't seem to find anything. Would anybody PLEASE be able to list a few main conventions essential to the genre.

Thanks in advance

Sorry for not being clear. Can you please explain the conventions of drama (as in not the form, but the category such as horror, fantasy etc.)?

The aren't "conventions of drama" in a short story. I don't know what you're asking. There are conventions in Drama... as in the mode.

Sorry, it's still an unclear question.

I'd suggest you read a lot in your chosen genre, that'll tell you everything you need to know.
