Short Stories: Keep Them Within a Limit

Hello again avid writers! Today we bring out something rather— well— short. That’s right. We’re covering short stories.

Descriptions. Let’s talk about it.

A lesson from beyond: the terrors from Fiction Writing classes (part 1).

Hello, hello! My latest lesson is about proper writing styles. This is a throwback to the age of being in a writing class and being handed someone’s typed story.
