Short Stories Are Not Mini-Novels
Short stories come in flashes of lightning. Unlike a novel, which can develop slowly, proceeding sometimes when even the author does not know how it will end, a short story is all-of-a-piece, and you have to know exactly where you are going before you start. This workshop covers the mechanics of short story writing, and discusses the special problems and pitfalls associated with the form.
