Essay: An Exercise in Doubt:
Salon.com says, "Sorry, the short story boom is bogus."
Response: Laura Miller makes great points, but she doesn't produce proof that there isn't a boom. Rather, she disagrees that the evidence is evidence for boom, but disagreeing with evidence does not negate the existence of a thing. Perhaps there is a boom compared to story sales prior to e-reading. Perhaps not.Make art to accompany Neil Gaiman's stories.

Essay: An Exercise in Doubt:
"Argumentation is a good skill to have, but the real argument should be with oneself. Especially when it comes to the development of young writers, it is crucial to nudge them past that self-righteous inveighing, that shrill, defensive one-track that is deadly for personal essays or memoirs, and encourage a more polyphonic, playful approach. That may be why a classic essay technique is to stage an inner debate by thinking against oneself."

Walter Jon Williams on style and story?
“Our Sarah has style.... Style and discipline. You are to give it form, to fashion it. Her style must be a weapon, a shaped charge. You will make it, I will point it. And Sarah will punch a hole right where we intend she should.”
--Walter Jon Williams, Hardwired,
