I’ll resume posting again on Monday, but for now, take this quote from Cormac McCarthy in a WSJ interview and suck on it for a while, you short fiction writers (speaking as someone who just handed his editors 20 new pages of novel, yo… oh, yes, this is happening. It is so ON!) (from the pages of my beloved ex-Ninja Pete (or beloved ex, Ninja Pete))
I’m not interested in writing short stories. Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.

Yet writing novels has clearly failed to drive McCarthy to suicide.
Perhaps he should try short stories after all.

Go novel, George. One step at a time….

slight correction … writing novels does not “drive” one to suicide but is the slowest known form of the actual act … your
back alone, to say nothing of your brains and balls and bowels …
