I wrote a couple of short stories recently (well, within the last year) which were OK, but anything longer than that seems beyond me. It's not much to do with technical writing ability, and all to do with having the right type of imagination, along with (crucially) the ability to sustain a regular and productive effort.

Instead i added a chapter to the running thing, thinking I would do that instead for NaNoWriMo, but, well, you know.....

Well, plenty of published authors have started out with short stories. Banging out a collection of those (I'm possibly not doing justice to the effort involved) could be a motivation for you to get arse on chair.
