I think that's how all stories should be written. <br /><br />If it's not long enough to tell the story, then it's too short.Anny Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305873753916213970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809516973071462364.post-52131566096733198702009-06-15T21:48:28.475-05:002009-06-15T21:48:28.475-05:00I used to write a lot longer than I have lately.

However, I'll also be writing more longer stories, soon as I find my energy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03534849962517743534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809516973071462364.post-13480889028082428612009-06-15T20:15:39.932-05:002009-06-15T20:15:39.932-05:00It depends on what I'm writing.

My word count usually ranges from 50,000 to 100,000. I do write short, just not as often as I do long. <br /><br />Reading I tend to prefer longer books. Usually, a longer book will let me get to know the characters more and immerse myself in the book. And I agree, short stories often leave me wondering what is going to happen to the people after I close the book.<br /><br />By the way love your cover.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203243506774271935noreply@blogger.com
