Monday morning (evening) writing joke: the long and short of it

Giving short (story) shrift to a novel idea.

The other day I overheard two people in my writing workshop group talking about my work. One person said she wasn’t sure why, but she would prefer to read something else.

The other person said, “He’s putting everything he knows into his novel. It’s sure to be a short story.”

“And I probably still won’t like it,” the first person said.
