    These are great resources, Col - thanks. I think short stories are a great alternative to novels, especially if you want to 'meet' an author for the first time without investing too much time into it. And for the author, it's an interesting medium that stretches the writing muscles.

    I did not realize you had been doing this 31 days of short stories for so long. I read a good number of short stories in August, but they were all science fiction or fantasy.

      Tracy, it's been a while. I'm trying to do it every quarter now, so I'll see how that goes.
