The art and craft of writing a short story differs radically from
that of writing a novel. Perhaps it's a bit unfair to the novelist
to put this way -- but I believe it's apt and accurate -- in a
novel or longer piece you have more room to lose your
focus a little, and the reader may be willing to forgive
you, but in a short piece, it's one strike and you're out.
