The Short Story Writer

You may be a short story writer if:

· You’ve been diagnosed with Adult ADHD.

· You only have 10 pieces of computer paper left and the nearest store is 30 miles away.

· You’re a person of few words.

· You like to love 'em then leave 'em.

· You believe less is more.

Do you have anything to add while you’ve got my attention?

Love these, Teresa! I'm a short story reader, but I haven't been happy with my efforts at writing them, so I won't call myself a short story writer. :) And I have attention issues, too!

If you can squeeze a few pages out of a depleting ink cartridge.

Which happened to me yesterday, and then I had to go to Staples :/

I've never written a short story, but would like to try my hand at one some day.

Very good. I wrote several short stories when I first started writing. I think they had been sitting in my head forever and needed to get out.

I'm a man of few words but somehow I always make a novel out of them.

I've never been much of a short story reader. I like the longer novels, something I can really get into. That is now that my kids will play long enough that I can actually READ a book other than picture books! :-)
