"The After Show with McKensie Stewart and Amy Shannon" ran episode 13 of chapter 6 tonight at 6:30 PM Eastern time on Blog Talk Radio https://www.blogtalkradio.com/wetheaftershow/2021/05/21/chapter-6-episode-13
Tonight's topic was about writing short stories.
A short story, is like any other story, it has a beginning, middle and end. Most of the time, the word-counters, decide that a short story is between 1000 and 10000 words. However, there are some short stories that even go up to 20000 words. To the hosts, it is not just about the word count, but the conception of the story, and how it is "showed" versus just being "told." A short story can stem from a larger novel, by taking a character from a story that has many characters, and just telling that character's story. If you don't write short stories, think of it as a challenge. And of course, if you're going to write, you should also read.
Thanks for listening and don't forget to catch us on our next episode. Chapter 7 Starts next week with the first 2 episodes being reruns, because of holiday and chapter breaks.
