There's...Very helpful advice and encouragement. There's a psychological dimension to writing short stories that you touch upon in Tip #11. Nobody likes "rejection," so I prepare for it by strategizing where a story might find a congenial home, and make a list of the several most likely places. When it's rejected (note that I said when, not "if"), I have the next publication already researched, and I am ready to move on. I see too many writers who get discouraged and don't keep sending a story out. Of course, if your candidate publications accept simultaneous submissions, you can send to several at once. I created a spreadsheet with all this info, to streamline management of the process. www.vweisfeld.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535876534433744767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564808806012504614.post-43625624742592247392017-08-22T04:26:56.645-07:002017-08-22T04:26:56.645-07:00Thank you, Catherine.

I truly am more of a frosting girl. I like seeing if I can bring a story home, develop strong characters, and hopefully hook the reader, in a short piece. Novels, as all of us who write know, are much lengthier and more complex pieces of work. Maybe I'm an immediate gratification girl! lol I've always liked short stories, though, back when Reader's Digest offered them.
