    Short Stories or Novels?

    I can't write shorts to save my life. My mind just doesn't think that small. I think in novels. Said that, I've had three shorts published, but they were hard tortuous work for me. I think I'd rather drive railroad spikes into my eyes.

    Chapters by Day

    That might get a bit boring after a while. That said, my current project, I'm using a "diary" format. The story takes place over a year, and realistically, I can't write about every single day or every single thing that happens in a given day. Days are going to be skipped. Weeks are going to be...
