Focus

The other day I got a very nice compliment on my little stories. I felt that compliment was my birthday gift [yes, that day was my birthday]... I thought I would share it with you:
'Your stories have a good focus. You seem to do really well with the short stories because of your focused story telling technique. Your stories move with a good pace. There isn’t any fluff to bog the story down. Pretty straight-forward plotlines.'
