The short story form allows evocation, suggestion, implication. Its potency often lies in what it does not say Picture Quote #1

Long fiction is wonderful and you can lose yourself in it as a reader and as a writer, but short stories don’t allow the same kind of immersion. Often the best stories hold you back and make you witness them. This may be one of the reasons some people reject the form. That and the fact that they are harder work to read. A story will not let you get comfortable and settle in. It is like a stool that is so small that you must always be aware of sitting Picture Quote #1

Tell the story as if it were only of interest to the small circle of your characters, of which you may be one. There is no other way to put life into the story Picture Quote #1

I’ve been covering the art industry for nine years, and I still don’t feel like I have a clear grasp on what an art consultant does. What’s the difference between a dealer and an art consultant? Who are they? What’s their day to day like? So I asked a few private dealers, consultants and curators to talk about what they do. Everyone told me a different story Picture Quote #1

I am a canvas of my experiences, my story is etched in lines and shading, and you can read it on my arms, my legs, my shoulders, and my stomach Picture Quote #1

I can understand, he said, that many people, many perfectly ordinary people, have an interesting story to tell. No one’s experience of life is valueless Picture Quote #1

I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners Picture Quote #1

Its not a story in which the characters grow up, but a story in which they draw on something already inside them, brought out by the particular circumstances. I want my young friends to live like that, and I think they, too, have such a wish Picture Quote #1

Sometimes making a story is as easy as putting two characters in a room and seeing what happens. So, imagine a great white shark and a giant squid in the same bathroom Picture Quote #1

God gave music the power to carry his light into the darkness. That’s a mighty privilege. It means intentionally telling stories and writing songs that bear truth that outlasts the songs themselves. If I did this in hopes of thunderous applause and piles of cash, I would have quit years ago. But there are moments on the stage when I sense something magical, a connection with the band and the audience, when our stories intersect and suddenly we’re wading in an ancient river. Suddenly the song is secondary to the greater story being told through each of us Picture Quote #1

Your only responsibility as a writer is to be true to the story that has chosen you as its writer Picture Quote #1

This is the power of myth: that we can experience invisible spiritual realities and truths greater than visible, material things in story form Picture Quote #1

What else are our lives but a story we tell ourselves to find some sense in the pain ofliving? Picture Quote #1

Writing fulfils an insatiable drive. Finishing the story satisfies my thirst. But I must keep drinking until the story quenches a buyer Picture Quote #1

Gender has always been considered a fact immutable. But we now know it’s actually more fluid, complex, and mysterious. Because of my success, I never have the courage to share my story. Not because I thought what I am is wrong but because of how the world treats those of us who wish to break free Picture Quote #1

You must know everything well before you can know what to discard. You must cover pages with material you will not finally put into the book. That doesn’t mean you don’t use it. It is still there, must be there, an invisible foundation which gives authority to the story. The planning done on setting is never wasted. Nothing is ever wasted. If it has been thought through and written, it is still there, in every word which does not mention it Picture Quote #1

We cannot bear for our most mysterious experiences to remain unexplained. I’ve therefore learned... that every story has worth, since a person takes the time to tell it. The key is to listen Picture Quote #1

Art is the most important thing to me in the entire world. It is my passion. Nothing else. End of story Picture Quote #1

We can only connect the dots we collect, which makes everything you write about you... your connections are the thread that you weave into the cloth that becomes the story that only you can tell Picture Quote #1

A photographer is like a writer... you’re writing with your lens so make sure you tell a good story Picture Quote #1

The only difference is that religion is much better organized and has been around much longer, but it’s the same story with different characters and different costumes Picture Quote #1

Because we humans find stories such fascinating things, it’s all too easy to get interested in the story for its own sake, and lose sight of the purpose for which we set out to use the story Picture Quote #1

An outline is crucial. It saves so much time. When you write suspense, you have to know where you’re going because you have to drop little hints along the way. With the outline, I always know where the story is going. So before I ever write, I prepare an outline of 40 or 50 pages Picture Quote #1
