How to Write Short Stories with Joanna Penn

The slowest way to write a novel is to start writing a novel.

It sounds backward, but it’s not.

In this week’s episode, you’ll hear from Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn. She’s spent years exploring short fiction as both craft practice and creative outlet, and she pushed back a bit on my claim about the slowest way to write a novel.

You’ll learn

• What Joanna considers the main benefit of short stories
• Where and how she comes up with ideas for short stories (and novels)
• An unconventional way to start analyzing your favorite short stories (and where to find good ones!)

Listen in or read the blog version so you don’t make rookie mistakes that end up baked into your 300-page novel.
