This is a good short stories. I’m starting to think short stories may be better for creative writers to start off with whether than going straight to a full manuscript. I know advisingwriters.com lets you publish short stories.

jb says: I disagree, Roger. The short-story form is, if anything, more difficult to master than the novel. There can’t really be a rule about what path writers take. Beginners or otherwise can only follow their noses.

Sounds amazing and defiantly worth having a look at. I love stories that are well written and that shows the efforts of the writer.

On the strength of this piece of testifying alone, John, I may just reverse the prejudices of a lifetime and give these short stories a go.

jb says: Let me know what you think, Dick.

I’ve not written that many short stories. That said I’ve written even fewer novels. It is a form I certainly appreciate when done well. This certainly looks as if it might be worth investigating.

jb says: Did it for me, Jim.

Thanks for offering this lavish comment about Alice Munro’s story collection. I admit that I would have let it pass by on the other side of the street had you not offered such effusive praise; I will order a copy today.

jb says: Money well spent, Don.
