8 Benefits of Writing Short Stories

The lovely Theresa Milstein has kindly offered to be a part of my Make Believe Anthology Tour. I didn't even have to twist her arm (which is good because my brother tells me I twist like a girl). I will be talking about 8 Benefits of Writing Short Stories. Yes, there are benefits! I'd love to see you over there. Click HERE!

I am also over with Terri Rochenski at Scribbler's Sojourn being interviewed! Yikes!! I'm in two places at once! I must be a super hero (or just a crazy person on roller skates which seems more likely). I'd love to see you over there!! Click HERE!

If you have time and want a little chuckle, Chris Andrews, an Aussie writer I met at GenreCon 2012, has written up a hilarious post: Successfully Pitching to an Agent or Editor – The Cretin’s Guide

I like the idea of writing short stories for anthologies like Make Believe. The magazine market seems tough and very niche oriented from what I've seen, but I like anthologies that center on a theme. I picked up George RR Martin's Songs of Love and War and thought it was kind of cool to sample various author's styles in one book.

Yes! That's what I love about anthologies too. And it's amazing all the different takes on the same theme too.

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

yes, Theresa is one of my favs too. And she is a top notch writer, as is Terri, who is also interviewing me today :)

you're all over the place, Lyndy :) The other writers who appear in the book should pay you for the free marketing :)

Lynda R Young as Elle Cardy said...

lol, the other writers are working just as hard. It's nice to have that kind of support, along with the awesome support of my blogging friends.
