Don't get stuck on honing and perfecting the first thing you write-- keep at it and assume you will leave lots of material on your computer. You might have to write six short stories before you have one worth revising. And read!

Jessica Shattuck:
I found that you explored the questions about "...how Germans could have let the Holocaust happen-- how so many could have been, at least in the beginning, enthusiastic about Hitler..." in this book, well. You also broached the subject of forgiveness. Was it intentional that you seemed to stop short of letting a character be able to forgive themselves, while not forgetting events? OR did I miss the one(s) that did?
