One reason for this is, prehaps, that to write a good short story is more challenging and takes more talent than it does to write a novel. Novels require stamina but short stories and poetry require huge amounts of skill. Writer should be trying to claim back the short story. It shouldn't be about anything but a passion for the form and what it can achive-if, as a writer, you dont love writing short stories, leave them for those who do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-77522294797358030832007-11-23T09:20:00.000+00:002007-11-23T09:20:00.000+00:00I am an avid reader and writer of short stories on...I am an avid reader and writer of short stories on the internet - in fact I think that these literary magazines have become a thing of the past.

I'm currently researching the history and future of the short story and I can feel the pity from the tutors and other students who see me, I feel, as a lost cause. <BR/>This blog has been a great find, if somewhat depressing. I know a lot of new writers who are sending out mediocre material, short stories and poetry mainly, that gains a small credit for their cv in the hope that each new credit will notch them up the literary pole.
