“I want what you have with Sam. I want someone who won't freak out when I have a night like tonight. I want trust and respect and ... I want someone who'll say I love you in front of a crowd of co-workers and friends.”

~~ Suzanne Brockmann, Headed for Trouble

(Troubleshooters series, book # 16.5)

Bookloving author and publisher

“If you want to write a novel, write a novel. If it’s essays you want or short stories, write them. In the process of writing them you will learn how. You can have the confidence that you will gradually acquire the technique and craft you need. Instead people often begin writing from a poverty mentality. They are empty and they run to teachers and classes to learn about writing. We learn writing by doing it. That simple. We don’t learn by going outside ourselves to authorities we think know about it.”

- Natalie Goldberg

And 'Atlas Shrugged' is what, 1000 pages? If only Ayn Rand had stuck to short stories.

Any short story fans here?

I like short stories, but my fellow columnist and poet Brian McGackin hates them. We decided to air our differences in a Prose and Conversation article for LitReactor.com

Who won the debate? Have a read and tell me what you think.
