What part of writing are you best at? Not compared to everyone else, but compared to you?
I think when you are able to identify what you are best at as a writer is when you will find what makes you unique.
I like to think that my writing is odd. My ideas and observations can be humorous, but also weird. That’s probably the reason I started writing short stories. I had many thoughts to put to paper and each one, like a dream, played out in different ways, some longer, some shorter, some head-scratching, and others just plain, “What the—?”
There is an art to the short story. I don’t know what it is yet, but I keep trying to figure it out. Each story brings me closer to an unknown destination as I try to navigate with a map with no labels.

I started out with a short story, which grew. I’m still finding the genre I write best in, hence my scattergun approach and list of unconnected mixed-genre novels.

My longest short story was 4000 words, and I thought that was close to my limit, but I did succeed in a 30K word novella and another in the works.

Like you I think my writing is ‘different’, as I wanted to write about subjects that are not particularly commonplace.

Short stories are hard. You have to be more precise in the words you use to built the story

I agree. I write the way I read, skimming over details that have limited affect on the story.
