I was very fortunate to be interviewed by Lisa Haselton!

Welcome, Katie. What do you enjoy most about writing short stories/novellas?
I sort of fell into writing short fiction.

When I first started writing many years ago, I never intended to write any length, I simply sat down at the keyboard and wrote the story. It just so happened that the majority of my stories were short stories or novellas. Then when I started writing a bit more seriously I reviewed what kinds of writing there were and studied up on the kind of writing that best fit my style which just so happens to be short fiction and novellas, with the occasional dabble into Novel length fiction.

I love writing shorter form fiction, probably because I’m so often impatcient with stories. I want to get right in there nice and fast. I get boared easily and shorter fiction is often more fast paced and grabs me. I also like that I can knock out projects a little faster, as every time I start writing something I usually have only a few months before my brains already nagging at me to move onto the next thing.

So from a reading perspective, I enjoy the fast pace and action focus of short fiction. From a writing perspective I enjoy the ability to knock out a project without having to live in it too long.
