Short Story Coaching, Advice, Guidelines

 From The Writer's Digest Handbook of Short Story Writing: Preface by Joyce Carol Oates. "How will [my students] know they are writing their true subjects? By the ease with which they write. By their reluctance to stop writing. By the headachy, even guilty, joyous sensation of having done something that must be done, having confessed emotions thought of as unconfessable, having said what had seemed should remain unsaid."
