In a Sanderson epic fantasy, for instance, one can truly experience a catharsis a short story cannot approach. I find it curious that short stories were described as preferable because of the pragmatic reason of “I don’t want to spend a year writing it”. Thank goodness there are novelists — and precious few — who do invest in an ambitious work and can do it very well. They provide incredible joy. That feeling of not wanting a book to end is priceless. Consider series novels, such as the Prey thrillers, Jack Reacher books. These are very popular for similar reasons even as those books allow us to live and follow many mini stories as well, even though they may not be serialized. Who can deny the grandeur of Game of Thrones (tv show) over it’s many episodes versus an adaptation that was a two hour feature or even a three movie trilogy?Solfeggiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259457496492064930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354915789972448915.post-7565740275599691292011-08-09T09:23:33.976-04:002011-08-09T09:23:33.976-04:00Interesting analogy, Splitter.

I particularly liked the “lasting peace/piece.”<br /><br />Jamie, I agree with all your points, although I wasn’t extolling the virtues of the novel over the short story. And yes, I agreed that the short story is a different art form than the novel. <br /><br />I was merely pointing out that novels were comprised of smaller complete ideas, and in the specific case referenced at the top of the post, that those who do exclusively, and successfully write short stories ought to at least try writing a novel. Think of all the things you thought you wouldn’t like until you tried it. Think of all the things you learned by doing what was unfamiliar that often added perspective and depth to the familiar. <br /><br />I, for one, hate short stories. I neither enjoy reading, nor writing them. But I have written several, and I learned a great deal in the process, lessons that assisted and improved my novel writing. One consistent thing I discovered, like reading books in genres you don’t care for, is that exposing yourself to that which is different, unfamiliar and that which you don’t like, often bears some of the best fruits. <br /><br />Just wanted to also add to your list the fact that short stories are short, and as such make it possible for friends and relatives to read them and give you feedback even before you submit it to a publisher. That’s not so easy to do with a novel.<br /><br />Thanks to both of you for posting.Michael J.

For me a sh...Michael, I empathize with your friend. For me a short story is an art form very different from a novel and I like that art form both as a reader and a writer. And while it is true that a novel might be composed of a series of "mini stories" that just doesn't feel the same to me as the challenge of the short form.<br /><br />For me there are several practical reasons for writing short stories:<br /><br />1. Less of a time investment. I don't have to invest a year of my life writing the thing. It typically takes me a few weeks to a month to write a short story.<br /><br />2. More immediate feedback. I can submit a short story and hear back on whether or not I've sold it anywhere from a week to two months. (The latter case is so long because its from a market I've sold to before and I always get detailed feedback from the editor, even if I don't sell him the piece.)<br /><br />3. I can try different things. I can write one short story in first person; another in third. I can experiment with form and character. Each story is more practice.<br /><br />But when it comes down to it, all of those reasons are the <em>practical</em> reasons why I write short stories. The real reason I write them is because I love the form. Novels may be more lucrative, but I'm not interested in that form, I'm not passionate about it, and why do something your not passionate about when you can do something that you are passionate about just as easily?Jamie Todd Rubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366011989002014748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354915789972448915.post-80158792757142154192011-08-08T13:51:19.657-04:002011-08-08T13:51:19.657-04:00Writers are like field generals.
Finishing the ...Writers are like field generals. <br /><br />Finishing the book is our overall objective. The book's story is our war. The mini stories and chapters are the battles. Each paragraph can be a skirmish at times.<br /><br />Then after we win the war, an editor…a politician…comes along and tells us that we need to give back a bit of hard won ground to make the peace (piece) lasting.<br /><br />Giving up words that we sweated over is hard for an author. All too often, even in well known works, we see that authors are unwilling to give back some of those words for the sake of tightening up the story. What should have and could have been a series of mini stories that contributed to the over all story arc turn into rambling wanderings.<br /><br />Good reminder as always, Prof. Gotta give the readers, the soldiers, victories in the form of mini stories along the way so they will keep turning pages and see the book though to the end. <br /><br />SplitterSplitter's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730691188111394478noreply@blogger.com
