Short stories are still very hard for me to write, which is why I keep trying to write them. This interview with Joy Williams I found very challenging. In fact, I’m not sure that I understood a word she said at an operational level. Which is why I will try a few of her tips and see if they help me with this obstinate (for me) genre.
What do you think of her advice and comments in the interview?
