I'm hopeless at writing short stories, although I did mange to write two plays, but always go for the big canvas, 26 times, soon to be 27 when the new crime novel is published in November
One theory is that we all grew up reading novels and not so many short stories. So it takes time to learn the pacing and structure. It's tough for many authors to balance world building, clarity, and intrigue all in 1,000 words.
