    I have finished writing my book, 'The Black Elephant' which is a collection of poetry about coming to terms with the deaths of my brother and father, and about the concept of death itself. I have been showing my manuscript to several close friends who urged me to get it published, and I have decided to do so. Wish me luck.

    That's how Stephen King got started. I love his collections of short stories.

    I like short stories more than novels....to me Hemingway's short stories were way better than most of his novels....Raymond Carver was a master of the short story

    I like short stories as well. I'll start to write novels and end up with short stories. Cathedral is my favorite of Carver's Stories
