What does 'life is too short for a long story' imply?

It implies that we should be concise. In our fast - paced lives, there's not enough time to go into long - winded explanations. We should get to the point quickly.

For most people, when a short story exceeds 7,000 - 8,000 words, it could be considered too long. It should be concise and focused to maintain the essence of a short story format.

The statement 'For a long time this was Griselda's story' implies that there was a particular account or narrative that revolved around Griselda for an extended period. This could be a story of love, loss, or some other significant aspect of her life. It might also indicate that this story was somewhat of a defining characteristic of her. Maybe she was a figure in a small community where her story was told and retold, becoming an important part of the local lore or just the way people remembered her. For instance, if she was a kind - hearted woman who helped the poor in the village, that could be 'her story' for a long time.

It could imply a story about a king in a Mech - related world where the king is highly respected or revered, and the phrase 'Long Live the King' is a common expression of loyalty and celebration of the king's reign.

It might imply that there was a real - life situation where someone died at a very young age and this is the basis for a story. Maybe it's about a tragic event that cut a young life short, and the story aims to convey the unfairness or the significance of that premature death.

It could be a novella. Novellas usually have a length that's in between a short story and a full-length novel, giving enough depth without being overly lengthy.

It usually means a life full of interesting or significant events and experiences that could be told as stories.

The carefree life implied a free and unrestrained attitude towards life. It tells us to get rid of the troubles of the material world and the real environment, to face ourselves and treat others well. A carefree life requires us not to care too much about other people's evaluation, not to use ourselves as a standard to evaluate others and demand others. It also reminds us to have a far-reaching view, not to be confused by the material world and the painful environment of life, to surpass ourselves and sublimate ourselves. The realm of carefree life is a state of mind relief. Through the realm of no self, no merit, and no name, we can achieve true freedom and happiness.

Not necessarily. It depends on the complexity and depth of the story. Some short stories can be quite long and still maintain the essence of a short form.

It depends on the genre and your intended audience. Some genres allow for longer stories, while others prefer brevity.
