Celebrating Handsome Fellas

The hottest men in Hollywood? Turns out, the longer these hot older men are around, the more we like them! Like fine wine&nbsp;and your favorite pair of jeans, some things just get better with age. The sexiest celebs over 40 (who are still living) are definitive proof that not all guys peak in their 20s. They may be older, but these are certainly some of the best looking male actors.

Wasn&#39;t it just yesterday that we were lovingly scribbling about the handsome Ryan Phillippe in our notebooks? The boys of our dreams are now a bunch of good looking older men. Now, he and a bunch of other sexy, surprising actors (like Leonardo DiCaprio) are marching directly over the hill. But we still think these hot older guys are some of the sexiest men in Hollywood. There are hot actors in their 40s, like Ryan Reynolds, as well as hot middle aged men, like Brad Pitt.&nbsp;

Who do you think are the hottest male celebs over 40?

The Art of the Short Story

List of the best short story writers of all time. From Voltaire to George Saunders, a complete list of the greatest short story authors who have written works in English or whose works have been translated into English.&nbsp;Usually, short fiction features a small cast of characters and is focused on one incident or anecdote and one overall mood, such as <a href="https://commaful.com/tags/romantic/" target="_blank">romance</a>, <a href="https://commaful.com/tags/funny/" target="_blank">humor</a>, or <a href="https://commaful.com/tags/sad%20love/" target="_blank">sadness</a>. Complex stories with sweeping timelines and superfluous characters are not often written in the short story medium, because there is simply not enough time to develop more than one or two cohesive thoughts. The best short story writers think that writing short-fiction is a completely&nbsp;separate art form than writing a novel, but some would argue that <a href="https://commaful.com/writers/" target="_blank">writing short stories</a> is great practice for writing a full length work of fiction.&nbsp;Because of the constraints of page length, great short story writers have to use language that is descriptive and quickly sets the scene or develops their characters. Hemingway is notoriously good at short, pithy stories. One of his most famous is the world's shortest short story: “For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn.” Very short stories are also known as flash-fiction.Like Hemingway, the best short story authors can paint a picture with their words in a short amount of time. If you like books but don't have time to read novels, reading short stories could be a great option for you. Many of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-novelists-of-all-time/ranker-books">the best novelists of all time</a>&nbsp; have also written good short stories. Often, this type of fiction is sold in short story collections or anthologies. Use this list to discover new authors of short-fiction and vote on your favorites.
