Stephen King on Writing & Short Stories vs. Novel Writing
Hey Everyone!
I hope you are all doing well!
I recently found this interview on youtube of Stephen King. He talks about short stories vs. novel writing. It's pretty interesting and it's only 5 minutes, perfect length for my attention span.
Check it out!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I love this clip. To think, you can just take a story and write it, without any thought about whether it will be a short story, novella, or novel, until you write it.
One thing I love about Stephen King is that he's so organic. It's like the stories come to hime and it's his job to do them justice. I think that's what true writers do--they don't screw up the stories that come to them.
