Short on time, short attention span – short story!
I had a sudden revelation the other day – I’m just not ready to write a novel. I’ve never written any fiction longer than 5,000 words, I don’t have a lot of free time, and I’m finding the task so daunting that I’m procrastinating like a world champion. The solution – write short stories! My brain is buzzing with ideas and it will satiate my (nearly) instant gratification cravings.
I also want to read more short story collections. I really think it’s an overlooked genre. I adored Dave Eggers’ collection and Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things is next on my list. Any other recommendations?
