Short Stories Anyone?

I’ve been thinking lately that something I’d like to do is improve my short story writing skill. What little I have has seen fairly little exercise over the years. Obviously the best way to improve something like that is by practice.

I’m not entirely sure what these stories will be about. I am sure that they’ll qualify as fantasies of one sort or another, which I believe most fiction could be called but I cannot say with any certainty that they’ll all be any kind of comfort.

One of the reasons to work on this is the fact that dialog has always been hard for me to write. The little bit that I have written has, with few exceptions, been the result of clawing or every word. Getting my characters to talk hasn’t always been easy. Getting them to sound like they’re not half brain damaged or cloned from some other fiction is another trick entirely.
