New, amateur authors often have no idea how to clearly define their story themes, expand their imagination and how to properly start and finish them. That's why we're often encouraged to write short stories to 'hone our edge', so to speak, so that we can do the real thing properly, even if those short stories are later drawn from for a bigger story.
But that's the boring road, so the impatient ones end up sperging on a super personal story that's as much as a mess as their selves. Then the embarrassment comes along. Source being me.
A nice exercise that helped wean me off this bad cycle was getting one of those random theme generators on the internet and writing a short story for it at least within a week, but I couldn't keep it up well enough.
