Patricia Abbott (pattinase): Short Story Wednesday

Wednesday, May 03, 2023

Some weeks I just can't find a short story I want to talk about--or even finish. Hope you guys did better.

Jeff Meyerson said...: Funny. I've been having trouble with short stories lately too. I did enjoy the Quaker Midwife book from Crippen & Landru by Edith Maxwell, and I am enjoying the Bill Pronzini collection I'm reading now, but neither had outstanding "wow" stories.; 9:31 AM

Todd Mason said...: I had better luck, but as is par for the course (particularly lately) fell asleep shortly after finishing the stories last night and while thinking about what I want to write. Hence, writing my entry now. Wilma Shore stories I hadn't yet read, in this case three WW2 stories published over several years in McCALL'S.; 10:12 AM

The link to George's article is broken--it appears the first "G" is missing.

Best,

TracyK said...: My problem is more with motivating myself to start reading short stories. Once I decide on an anthology or collection, I usually have no problem finding a few I enjoy.; 7:43 PM
