I want to have to work at a story, to use my imagination to understand the complexities, to revel in language. These are the advantages of short fiction over novels I feel.<br /><br />Best Wishes<br /><br />RachelRachel Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32078352.post-11683835240069629822011-05-07T13:13:37.803+01:002011-05-07T13:13:37.803+01:00I should win it because I bought this book well ov...I should win it because I bought this book well over a year ago (I think it was your review that put me on to it, Tania) and was looking forward to reading it but I can't now find it! It may be somewhere in the house (or at work) but I think I probably lent it to someone and can't remember who. Tried to get it from the library but ours doesn't have it. So this would replace my bought but lost copy...Alanhttp://alanbeard.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32078352.post-30268971339813410122011-05-04T18:44:27.855+01:002011-05-04T18:44:27.855+01:00I should win this book because I am a poor staving...I should win this book because I am a poor staving African with no access to books.

I constantly compare myself to other writers and question myself about what I "should" or "should not do" in a story. I have a lot to learn I know that. Also I tend to write everything but the kitchen sink in my short stories and beat myself up over it. Do all stories have to follow a linear pattern? No matter how much I try to harness myself, the stories become overpopulated with characters. Am I meant to be a novelist or a short story writer I ask myself? I can either tame my short stories or embrace the excitement and adventure as I embark on a new journey like Kesey seems to be doing. I am hoping that reading this collection, I'll be inspired to break free from my constraints.<br /><br />Thanks Tania!Dora Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053336278338283781noreply@blogger.com
