You gotta do you...no apologies needed. I'm eyeball deep in a long form piece - novel? novella? who knows? But when I finish that, it'll be time for some flash. Like a nice palette cleansing lemon sorbetto.

I am really comfortable with where I am at. Just happy to be writing regularly again.

Tribbles are trouble, for sure.

I love short stories, reading them and writing them. They're densely packed little bundles of dynamite. If a novel is a car ride, a short story is being shot out of a cannon.

Same. I like that you can pack a real punch in a tiny package.

Always appreciate hearing more about your approach to craft and writing.

I’ve really been drawn to writing shorter pieces and love collecting anthologies. When everyone is going big and epic, i think back to many of the great writers and how they started small and kept going with it.

Keep up the great work. Glad to be able to read and follow your stories. They are more inspiring than you may think.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

I love the idea of just have a scrap piece of paper and whatever space you have is the story limit. Sounds like a great creative exercise in itself.

It was definitely a fun way to challenge myself in the early days.
