But once I was old enough to think about it, I always thought in terms of novels. I wanted to write A Book. I’m not quite as recently come to short fiction as you (I started writing flash fiction shortly after I started my blog—and in fact my first book is a collection of short stories masquerading as a novel). For a long time, though, I didn’t think I could write short. Flash fiction turned out to suit me well, though I still struggle some with the more conventional short story. <br /><br />Congratulations on your moving story for the WEP. Rebecca M.

Life can sure make it challenging to fit in the time for writing - never mind the energy required, esepcially if you're involved in a care-taking role.

I've tried to write in these flash challenges to force myself to write something short. I'm limited right now in writing as I take care of my hubs, so writing short works better for me now. It's nice to hear how you started. I like mulling things over in my head before I decide on the story. Congrats again!D.G.

Short stories came later, and flash fiction later still. But my favorite length by now is a novella or a novelette. I'm not sure I will ever write a novel again, but maybe a couple novellas. And shorts too.Olga Godimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358026814685611301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749517039130437132.post-718913824613075772019-05-20T16:19:53.486-04:002019-05-20T16:19:53.486-04:00Will we be facing off for the IWSG Anthology 2019?...Will we be facing off for the IWSG Anthology 2019?

Like...Congratulations and inspirational post, Jemi. Like you, as a kid the words stayed in my head. I didn't write them down until I was almost a teen. My first success with a short story - and my last win - was at 12. I've gone full circle, writing shorts in my teens, then attempted novels, and now scribbling shorts again. YA or MG fiction would take me well outside my comfort zone - I've attempted YA and I'm plotting some MG, perhaps.Roland Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302133565980901397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5749517039130437132.post-6604583260110982362019-05-20T15:21:25.746-04:002019-05-20T15:21:25.746-04:00It' a good thing you went for it with your Tic...It' a good thing you went for it with your Tick Tock story.<br /><br />I wrote a lot of short stories as a teen.
