Started writing a western-esque short story and man oh man am I going to struggle with the ‘short’ part. The frontiers of humanity/life are such rich and evocative story-telling places that are so full of potential.

Fiction writers, I have a question — is it really so important to write in the first-person POV? I see everywhere that readers now prefer this POV over third-person.

I was one who always lamented and self-flagellated about not being able to finish a novel (or in my case novel-length). Could get into short novella territory, but once entering the 50K range... no. So I tended to avoid the short stuff, because, you know, a writer is supposed to write novels. But I gotta say, I'm really liking this focus on the short stuff. The reading and the doing. What if all the self-castigation was never warranted because what if the short stuff is the future anyway? Or why not just let go of the belief in needing to write a novel and happily immerse in flash & micro?

I am panicking at the impending pretend deadline I have given myself. I’ve published something a little more than every two weeks this year, but unfortunately the complicates I had with Ghost in the Garden have eaten up all of my cushion of time. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ *sadness mouse
