A recent Face Book status read : With STORYTELLING being such a beautiful art, why would anyone want to make a long story short?
My instant reply was that if the story could be made short then it wouldn't have been a long story in the first place.
And now I will proceed to make my short story on this subject long, which in effect, if one can indeed make a story longer than it was then, in fact, one may argue that it indeed wasn't a story in the first place but rather a story in the making.
But if a story in the making was indeed shorter than the longer, one would have to say that that story would have previously been made long before the making of whatever it was after it was lengthened.
BUT if the art is in the actual telling of the story, then no matter how long or how short the length of the story may seem, it is in the beauty of the telling that will make whatever the length of the story seem short.
Conversely, if there is no beauty in the telling, then one might wish indeed that in reality there was less in the length, and thus wish the long story short.
Get my POINT?
