Theme: Writing Shorter Fiction
Welcome to Issue # 21!
For most writers the creation of short stories is either a gift or something unfathomable. In this issue you get to glimpse into the making of short stories and how writers approach them.
We also have a wonderful interview from writer Lynn Abbey, and some great articles outside the theme.
As we near the middle of the year, I hope that you have found Vision helpful in meeting your personal goals for the year, and that we've provided you with help and inspiration. Here's hoping that the second half of 2004 goes well for all of us!
