Short stories and flash fiction avoid this problem by having genre conventions that allow for focusing only on a specific scene. Ploughshares in its recent Winter edition has a fiction piece that's three paragraphs long, which I thought was an appropriate length for the content.

I think it's somewhat common for writers to start with writing shorter pieces. GRRM comes to mind.
