A lot of writers think shorter equals easier (and/or less work) which is not true. Thanks for this, Alex.

I like the brevity of the narrative this form requires, the economy of words. A short story doesn't tolerate verbosity, and the word-count limitations could be quite liberating in some cases.Olga Godimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358026814685611301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-2970404082675637032021-02-15T15:52:02.026-05:002021-02-15T15:52:02.026-05:00Writing shorts is a whole different game from writ...Writing shorts is a whole different game from writing novels or nonfiction!
