Seth Grahame-Smith Zitate

I wrote one terrible manuscript after another for a decade and I guess they gradually got a little less terrible. But there were many, many unpublished short stories, abandoned screenplays and novels... a Library of Congress worth of awful literature.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich habe zehn Jahre lang ein schreckliches Manuskript nach dem anderen geschrieben, und ich denke, sie wurden nach und nach etwas weniger schrecklich. Aber es gab viele, viele unveröffentlichte Kurzgeschichten, verlassene Drehbücher und Romane ... eine Kongressbibliothek im Wert von schrecklicher Literatur.

At 9, I think I had really gotten into tennis. I liked writing short stories; I loved solving math problems. I was learning a little piano, and I was collecting Garbage Pail Kids cards.

You have to be kind of clued into them, they are a world of their own, and most people find them disappointing because the best short stories are not constructed like novels.

I don't like to have a calm, orderly, quiet place to work. I often compose while driving, compose in my head. It is true that I wrote my little book, 'The Sounds of Poetry, A Brief Guide,' almost entirely in airplanes and airport departure lounges.

I've always loved short stories. Even before I was a writer, I was reading short stories - there were certain writers where I just felt like they could do in a short story what so many writers needed a whole novel to do, and that was really inspiring to me.

Molly Antopol

I feel a bigger sense of fulfillment when writing a novel, and short stories are more about instant gratification.
