Just thinking about an interview I read/listened to I have no idea who it was. A writer had been asked if he preferred to write novels or being a journalist.
He responded that the writing couldn't really be compared. Are you a sprinter, or a long-distance runner?
I was just thinking that I've never been able to finish a long, multi-chapter story. Or a long story for that matter. I do alright as a journalist. Clearly I'm a sprinter.
I'd like to go for long-distance eventually... but I don't know what I want to write about.
I feel like my imagination has been whittled away over the years. I just don't have any ideas anymore.
Well, that's not quite true. But I feel like they've lost creativity. Short stories though, are straight and to the point.
