General grumpy face because writing a short story is very different from writing a novel or even a novella and no one really advertises that.

as a short story writer, writing a novella was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I'm used to thinking in terms of short intercut scenes, images, scattered dialogue. Sustaining and building a story over an entire narrative arc doesn't come naturally to me.

How do I ramp up to y'all CARING and understanding the ISSUES without a full three chapters of painstaking loving buildup?

I really am appreciating, now that I'm trying to actually stuff my smut writing into shorter and smaller bits, how hard it is to cram a full story into a tiny box. You have to mentally map out an entire novel then cut and cut until it works
