Any aspiring authors out there thinking about dipping their toes in?<br /><br />Not a fan of short stories even short story anthologies. There's just not enough meat to them for me to feel fulfilled at the end. Question 2 I think most readers are aspiring writers, that said I'm one that has realized I don't have the self discipline to finish anything let alone try to publish it. <br /><br />Tweeted this giveaway<br />Following via GFC<br /><br />jennlovesed14 at gmailJenn of Frequent Reader, Infrequent Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531745952455455189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-70128459331374701602011-06-04T01:41:21.582-04:002011-06-04T01:41:21.582-04:00Short stories are a fun way to introduce yourself ...Short stories are a fun way to introduce yourself to a new author in my opinion and it's also a nice change of pace every once in a while.<br /><br />bookflamereviews@gmail.com<br /><br />please enter me for the first contestBook Flamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304178222518942864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-45885790244561293172011-06-03T22:58:05.723-04:002011-06-03T22:58:05.723-04:00I kind of have a love/hate thing with short storie...I kind of have a love/hate thing with short stories. When they're well done (like The Twisted Tale of Stormy Gale) you feel like you just had a satisfying snack but when they're not well done you feel like you were at a buffet and trying to cram too many things into one tiny plate.<br /><br />Your post really was like an epiphany for me. I've never been one who would think to write a short story because I tend to hate them... but I think Carina Press has been doing a really great job buying up the good ones, so far I've liked a lot of the ones I've tried from them.<br /><br />Thanks for the excellent post Christine! <br /><br />Since I already have (& loved) TTToSG I'll just ask to be entered for the second giveaway. :)<br /><br />-- Rhianna<br />always.and.never AT gmail DOT com<br /><a href="http://rhireading.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">RhiReading</a>Rhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894635523802815839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926345421909415577.post-30047063044225463512011-06-03T14:05:33.903-04:002011-06-03T14:05:33.903-04:00For me sometimes it's a blessing to be able to...For me sometimes it's a blessing to be able to read short stories, nowadays we have to many trilogies and, although I love reading them, it's refrshing to pick a short story up and know that when you finish that book you won't have to wait until the next one comes out.<br /><br />I'll be intering for the second prize.

Sometimes I want a quick fix and I love that I can sit down and read something in an hour (or less). And a lot of times I want an "in between" book to help me recharge my brain before I pick up the next novel. <br /><br />I have always been interested in writing so I will be bookmarking this post.
