I imagine a good way of structuring a story of 1000 words would be to think of it in 3 parts.
250 words max for the intro
500 words for the body of the story
and
250 words max for the closing of the story.
That works out to 1 page to start, 2 pages for the middle and 1 page for the end if you go by the 250 words per page formula.
Sounds like it might be a fun project to try. Congrats on the acceptance VydorScope.
