Buku 'How to Write Short Stories'

Buku 'How to Write Short Stories for Magazines - and get published!' tulisan Sophie King ada dalam tanganku pada ketika ini.

Dalam bab pertama iaitu 'Identifying Your Market', beliau mengetengahkan peri pentingnya penyelidikan sebelum menulis.

'Many would-be short-story writers fail to achieve their ambition of getting published because they don't carry out some simple research.'

Dalam bab kedua pula iaitu 'Good Idea!', beliau menyatakan bahawa kehidupan ialah sumber ilham.

'Where do you get your ideas from? I'm always being asked this question and my answer is always the same. Life.'
