I always enjoy what other short story writers have to say about the state of the story, their own writing process, their attempts to cross over into novel writing. Recently, I had the opportunity to take part in a symposium at THE HUFFINGTON POST entitled “Short Stories: What Do Writers Love About Them?” Moderated by Anis Shivani, the panel brought together Belle Boggs, Anne Sanow, Gina Oschner, Marisa Silver and me to discuss what we love, among other things.
