Inkstains

  Our host struggles to define the short story, but finallygets into how he approaches writing shorts, and how they're different from InkStains stories. Revelations. Twists. Things that are necessary. Experience. Intentions. Diversions. Discipline. Practice. And all the terrible stories that have to be written first. Then: the tricks. Stories this week include: a mostly true story, the results of a hurricane, and "Roots of the City". John Urbancik discusses writing, photography, art, and creativity, and also reads stories.
