Short Stories and NaNo/GaNo =]

I love short stories very much, although they’re much harder to understand and comprehend than novels, they’re cool because they leave you thinking and on your toes.
And I love when stories leave you thinking, and on your toes.
A really good well put together short story is one that leaves
the reader wondering what’s going to happen next and makes them begin to develop their own ideas and thoughts on what’s going to happen next, and one that keeps them guessing. One time in class we read "The Interlopers". The author of this short story tried to make the story very interesting by using the literary techniques such as irony, suspense, and conflict. In “The Interlopers” the author used irony by having all of the enemies in this short story die from wolves in the dreadful woods after the long time feud was finally over. Another short story that I enjoyed very much was “The Lady and the Tiger”. This short story kept me very interested in it because this story doesn’t really have an ending, because it doesn’t end up telling you what was supposed to happen. When short stories are like this one, you get to make up your own version on what happened at the end. I found that to be really cool to be able to do. So although short stories can be confusing and harder to comprehend than novels they’re still really fun and cool to read.

Also, I do not plan on doing NaNo/GaNo because even though it would be cool to write non-stop for a month, and
to be able to express yourself.. I don’t think id be able to dedicate that much time to doing it for a whole month! So
I’m going to pass on it this time, maybe next year i’ll do it
