Jess Walter Quotes About Short Stories

Quotes about: Short Stories

• I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys.

• I wrote short stories for seven years and used to mail them out. You couldn't send them by e-mail. I called them manila boomerangs. I'd seal the self-addressed stamped envelope inside an envelope and I'd mail it off, and it would come back six weeks later with a rejection letter in it.
