The form that taught me everything
A novel lets you get away with a weak paragraph because the reader is already invested. A short story does not. Every sentence carries weight and every scene earns its place, and you cannot spend two pages on a room unless something in that room matters more than the reader knows yet.
This is where the short fiction lives: whole collections instead of one story at a time, built to be read out of order and put down and picked up again.
