| Re: Shoert stories Writing shorts, for me, is a great way of getting a quick 'creative fix', when the desire calls. They're easy to bang out whilst fresh, provide a great break from that longer work sucking the life from you, without their effort sapping that much needed stamina. They can be self indulgent, therapeutic and a chance to try something different without expecting them to see any commercial light of day. Plus, they're great to practice your writing on: You only get better by actually writing and shorts provide the ideal playground to graze your knees. Whatever level you're at. Published or not. |
