Excellent points that emphasize, and support, my understanding of what I've learned about the craft over the past two years. I tried to use novel plot points to tell a short story without success. Then I chopped out most of the try/fail cycles and combined the plot points from Act 1. So far, I've been moderately successful.
Great insights, Robb. Writing short is more difficult than it seems. I look forward to part 2.
I love short stories. Reading them and writing them.
