Why Short Stories
You may not have considered short story writing before, but here are some reasons why you should. This article will also tell you how to go about crafting a short story.

Thanks for sharing this post, Michelle. Both reading and writing short stories gives me a lot of pleasure, but writing them is not high on the agenda at the moment – one day, again. I did a course in writing short stories many years ago and loved being able to tell a story or a scene in just a few hundred words. For now I’ll have to be content with my flash fiction. I may return to short stories in the future.
