For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel.
I'm very interested in writing - it just takes so much discipline, whether it's short stories or novels.
It's tricky to take a book of short stories and turn it into a feature film.
Many of my short stories (all unpublished) were horror, and the novel I'd just finished was horror, too.
And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.
Can you write 200 words a day? 100? 50? In six months, 50 words a day is 9,000 words. That's 2-3 short stories. If you did 200 words every day, in three months that's 36,000 words. That's half a short novel.
I do think that short story writing is often a matter of luck.
I find that short stories are almost like palate cleansers or brain cleansers.
There are some short stories in R. Crumb comics that are just wonderful and touch me in ways no other comics do.
