I have a hard time writing shorter pieces. Most of my stories are in the 4k word bracket, and that is after editing them. It was because when I started reading what publishers wanted, that normally fit the bill for all of them. I built up a thing to write no less than 4k words. I have one story that took me about an hour to write and it is only three paragraphs. I don't know how to fit emotion and a story into shorter stories, which tend to make my stories have some fluff in them as well.
