Short Story

Yes i have tried writing when i was small and it got published in our school magazine. After that i tried sending to magazines not short stories but anectodes. But nothing got published ... SO i have left it as it is a futile attempt

My husband did once. He is really gifted, though he would say otherwise. He won an award for his story. It is in our curio cabinet. I remind him of it often.

No, I haven't tried it, but I've always wanted to. I think that readership is probably down because of the advent of the internet. I know that I do a great deal of reading online, but almost never pick up magazines anymore. In fact, I honestly believe that, in time, magazines printed on paper will become a thing of the past. I have published online though. Not for pay, which I would LOVE, but I am very shy and uncertain about my writing for some reason and have always been very reluctant to allow people to read what I write. Good luck with your endeavors and I hope you're successful!
