Writing A Short Story Is A Little

I Don't Think Anybody Deals Well With Tragedy Or Grief, But Maybe My Characters Are Particularly Bad At It. Which Is Why I Love Them.

I Like To Sleep About Four Or Five Really Solid Hours At Night, And Then Sometimes Take A Nap In The Afternoon Or Early Evening After Dinner. I Love Naps.

A Novel Requires A Certain Kind Of World Building And Also A Certain Kind Of Closure, Ultimately. Whereas With A Short Story You Have This Sense That There Are Hinges That The Reader Doesn't See. I Would Say That All Short Stories Have Mystery Naturally Built Into Them.

You Can't Tell People How To Feel When They Read Your Work. You Can Only Hope To Connect.

I've Never Been Able To Sleep Very Much, Even When I Was A Kid. I Used To Hate Being Forced To Lay In Bed In The Darkness, And Just Shifting In Bed And Staring At The Shadows.
