I have started working on a longer short story, simply because most of my stories are the same length and I wanted to try something longer. So far so good, and I am crawling forward.
I have read books on writing by writers whose works I respect, and they all say ‘do what works for you.’ So now I am trying to find what works for me in a longer story…
This story takes place in a forest and a nearby house and follows the exploits of two brothers as they explore the woods after a windstorm. I haven’t gotten farther than that, but I’ll let you know how I progress as I go.
