What is success for a short story writer?What are the measures of success for a short story writer?
I've heard much about what success is and what it means for fiction writers... but it's all about novels. So those definitions are really for novelists.
I write short stories. Even the longest are many times shorter than the shortest novels. {pause}
So I'm not a novelist. {spread hands} That shouldn't be a barrier to success. Not all writers write novels. Some write nonfiction, or plays, or poems, or TV shows, or movies... I write short stories and short articles. I particularly enjoy writing short fantasy stories. This shouldn't be a barrier to success. There must be ways to be a success as a short story writer. I just need to figure out what they are. I need to know where I might be heading, and what milestones to look out for.
