I was inspired to write short stories by a lesson that I watched from Brandon Sanderson’s class. If you don’t know who that is, he’s a Fantasy writer who’s been on the bestseller’s list multiple times. He’s also a professor who teaches a creative writing class in Utah. One day, he had a short story writer by the name of Mary Robinette Kowal, and she taught the principles of a short story. I wrote some practice short stories, and from there, that’s how I started the Chillingly Bizarre podcast.
