Can't wait to see what you've written. http://davidalanlucas.com/blog4.php/2009/10/06/the-constant-question#c329 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:23:22 +0000 david167 [Member] c328@http://davidalanlucas.com/ Thank you Jacyln! I think I am going to start posting my short fiction on my website, regardless if someone published it, so that others can read it. http://davidalanlucas.com/blog4.php/2009/10/06/the-constant-question#c328 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:10:28 +0000 Jaclyn Devey [Visitor] c327@http://davidalanlucas.com/ I struggle with the same thing, and I think we've had this conversation before. I definetly write long fiction better because my character growth and plot lines are far to complicated to contain in only a few pages, in fact, they're often too big for a single novel! Yet, I've recently started thinking that I should give more credit to short fiction, if for nothing else, as practice. As you said, there's a lot to learn from writing a short story on working with plot and character. When I wrote With and Without I was attemping to exercize that very thing. I picked a single subject, and single goal, then wrote a single breif story about it as an exercize, and to my surpirse, it worked rather well. I'm hoping to make myself spend more time on this practice in the future and hopefully it will yeild more success even if it never ends up published. http://davidalanlucas.com/blog4.php/2009/10/06/the-constant-question#c327
