I've read it twice and find new gems every time. I have also bought several of the books mentioned in its pages. A great source of inspiration. It was very encouraging to read about Vanessa Gebbie's writing journey, too. There's hope for us all!Lesley Grinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614741586876002583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759802438862174539.post-83924436213567322442010-01-18T03:20:27.439-08:002010-01-18T03:20:27.439-08:00I've added this book to my shopping list, as i...I've added this book to my shopping list, as it might come in useful later this year.

So much can be said in 250 words, or even 150!!<br /><br />Short Circuit is a fabulous book, I have found it incredibly inspiring! We now have a website: <a href="http://www.theartoftheshortstory.com/>Short Circuit: A Guide to the Art of the Short Story </a>, which is in its early stages but will hopefully be providing "added value"!Tania Hershmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.com
