2/8/2015 2 Comments About Length...Sometimes, length does matter. When I was first learning to write, "A story is as long as it takes to tell" was the first and last advice on the subject I needed. But when I started publishing, word count suddenly took on importance.
I wrote 100 word flash fiction, and short stories that fit the "no more than X words" categories, and I've finally figured out how to write a novel all the way to the end. (Yes, I am one of those "half-finished novel" types.) So what if a story only needs 25,000 +/- words to tell it? I don't know, yet. Watch this space!

I cannot argue that! But I'd like to explore more traditional publishing methods, too. I've been reading so many articles on the pros and cons of self-publishing, my head is spinning!
