“Often trauma feels like you are living in a loop. The psychic drive of the book is to break free of the loop.”

Also personally love this quote by Brenda Peynado —

“Theme is not something you pose on a story, it comes from where the characters heart comes from. The point of the story is to break that heart.”

Of course we had to love this quote by @gwenekirby.bsky.social

“If you are interested in being part of the world of short stories, get your stories published in magazines.”

(Hint hint: we’re currently accepting short submissions for our April Flash contest!)

“People try to put in too much, there’s not an ending, or it’s not really a story… Find what the heart and emotion of the piece is, and don’t try to answer all the questions in 1000 words.” — @crsutton.bsky.social
