Show Notes
This week's podcast is a pep-talk to get you writing, even when you're having trouble getting started.
(Isn't "getting started" the hardest part some days?)
And sometimes, getting started isn't the problem. The problem crops up somewhere else:
* Getting through the mushy middle
* Reining in a story that wants to become a novella
* Losing focus before the end.
I want to hear from you: what problems do you encounter when attempting to write short stories?
(I'm not calling it writer's block, because that sounds like an artificial, external problem, and I believe we can all find the solution to temporary 'stuckness' from inside ourselves.)
