A Lesson before Writing -- Episode 12 

In this episode, we discuss having more ideas for projects than one has time to write, and how does one decided which project to focus on; the importance of mastering the short story before attempting to write a novel; the changing marketplace for publishing fiction; unconscious influences; and more. The featured story is "Double First Cousins" by Jean Ross Justice (1924-2016), part of The Unsung Masters Series (edited by Ryan Bollenbach and Kevin Prufer).
