Some stories aren't meant to end. :(<br />Thanks for your comments.

A few I have read over the years have been enjoyable but I almost always think, "this should be a full length novel, it would be really good."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198775415610533309.post-10560049460681192712012-07-16T12:40:44.864-05:002012-07-16T12:40:44.864-05:00Patricia, it's great to hear from you.

In today's hectic times, a short story is such a good fit. I think that a well-written short story is a gem, an artwork in literature, well worth the read.:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254228974989688426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198775415610533309.post-55359953927043119632012-07-16T10:03:46.740-05:002012-07-16T10:03:46.740-05:00Hi Lynne!

He is a master. No, THE master. He makes it look easy. Time I looked up some of his short story collections again. <br />You are a superb poet! I'm sure you would excel at short stories, too.<br />Thanks for stopping by :)Phyllis L Humbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05105378189298379668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198775415610533309.post-45139865431369359682012-07-16T09:33:44.316-05:002012-07-16T09:33:44.316-05:00Hi, lynnie here Phylis.

I'm not one for short stories but her work is amazing and fits your short story definitions to a tee.<br />I do read Stephen King's short stories.<br />Myself - I do have material to draw on that could probably work as a short story, but alas do not have the patience.xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
