What should writers do first when choosing between short stories and novels?

When choosing a dildo for the first time, safety is crucial. Look for ones made from body - safe materials like medical - grade silicone. Also, consider the size. Starting with a smaller size is often a good idea to get used to the feeling. And make sure to clean it properly before and after use.

You need to make them catchy and relevant to the story's main idea. Something that grabs the reader's attention.

Well, first think about the theme or message you want to convey. Then, look for quotes that really resonate with that.

If you like stories about magic and wizards, then 'The Colour of Magic' is a good start. It focuses on Rincewind, a wizard who's not very good at magic but gets into all sorts of adventures. But if you're more into stories about the city and its politics, you might want to consider starting with 'Guards! Guards!', which introduces the Night Watch in Ankh - Morpork.

Your available time should be considered. If you have a busy schedule, a hobby like gardening which needs regular maintenance might not be suitable. Instead, something like reading short stories can be more manageable.

Well, think about the length. A shorter novel like 'Animal Farm' can be a great start. It's concise yet very thought - provoking with its political allegory.

Sure. It's a great option as ebooks are easily accessible and can be distributed globally. Also, it's cost-effective for both writers and readers.

One important element is the sense of horror. Names like 'Terror of the Zombie Swarm' can convey this well. Another is the setting, for example, 'Zombies in the Abandoned City' tells about the location. Also, the action involved, like 'Fighting the Zombie Plague' shows what the characters might be doing.

Relevance to the plot is key. For example, if the story is about a missing artifact, a name like 'The Vanishing Artifact' would be good. Also, creating an air of mystery in the name, like 'The Mysterious Package'.

A big mistake is choosing a name that doesn't match the tone of the story. If it's a light - hearted comedy but the name is 'The Dark Descent', it's a misfit. Another error is when the name is hard to pronounce. If readers can't easily say the name, they might be less likely to remember it or recommend the story. And some writers pick names that are too trendy and might quickly become dated, like using a very specific current fad in the name.
