August 2014
What is more fun in August than our short story challenge, Show Us Your Shorts? Let's talk about how short stories can impact a writer right over here...
Short Stories:
Do you write them? No, I do not.
Do you hate them? I'm not a big fan of Original Fiction short stories, but I've read a few really good Fan Fiction/Spin-off pieces.
Do you think they're lovely but there's no market for them? For those who wish to be published, many people will tell you that short story publications get your foot in the door. And while that is definitely true, I'm not sure how many people really focus on the short stories. So tell me about your own views on them. Have any been published? Are you looking to publish some?
Lol, no, there are people who love them to death- just not me. I don't really care whether I'm ever published or not- I write only because I want to and because I love the online writing community.
Bonus: What is your favorite magazine/anthology of short stories? Send us a
picture of the cover! (Especially if you have a favorite issue.)
Because Boba Fett makes EVERYTHING more awesome! Even Short Stories.
