New Post on Lady Business: Short & Sweet — On Not Reading Short Fiction

[forestofglory]

The personal essay I've mentioned a couple of times in now posted! This was tough to write because I have lot of feelings of guilt around my recent short fiction reading habits and no easy answers.

I'm with you on so much of that. So, so much. I've stopped reading anything but fanfic and original fiction written by people I know on a personal basis. I just can't expose what's left of my soft spots, you know? I'm saving those for me.

I'm not a short fiction reader myself but I thought this was a really good an interesting essay. I feel similar about serious-issues-dark movies, thought admittedly not with as much guilt. I hope you find more short fiction to read that brings you joy, not stress!
