Same here, but i had an epiphany recently:

HP Lovecraft is one of my biggest influences, and 90% of his good stuff in under 20 pages. i realised when i wrote the Safe that you can grind out some great stuff in short pieces. If you build up a big enough body of work like that, you may be able to swing a compilation or somehting similar from a publisher.

Hey, trying cant hurt. id love to stay home all day with my daughter and crank out short stories :)
