A Short Story?

I'm not really sure what a short story is, besides the obvious. (A story, probably fiction, shorter than a novel)

The purpose for this blog is to hone my writing skills.You won't find "classic works of literature" here. English Majors click away now, I'm not interested in your rules.

I self-edit and have no idea what I'm doing. I write because it's a hobby. The good, bad, and especially the ugly stands on its own.
