I find that short stories are almost like palate cleansers or brain cleansers.
You want to hear an agent scream, say, 'I'm thinking about doing a collection of short stories set in the Ozarks.'
If you look at my last songs and first short stories, there is a real connection between them.
I am also working on a couple of short stories for anthologies. This is new to me and I'm enjoying it.
My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.
I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.
I was writing and cartooning and writing short stories from grade school on.
The author always knows more than the reader does at the start of a novel, and gradually, they share that knowledge with the reader - that's storytelling.
Everything has to be pulling weight in a short story for it to be really of the first order.
