ON WRITING SHORT STORIES

Short stories are built around emotions.  It's a singular dilemma, one that will be solved through the interior of the story. Start close to the end. Limit your cast of characters. Above all, read!
Here's a list of some of my favorite short story writers:
Reynolds Price
Ernest Hemingway
Doris Lessing
William Faulkner
Eudora Welty
Chekhov
