Well, I’m not sure how much more experienced I am. I don’t have a formal background in creative writing, although I’ve read a couple of books on writing over the years.

I have learned a lot in the time I have been writing the Fiction Friday stories. I can’t even remember why I decided to write the longer stories to bundle with the PDF. Maybe because it seemed lame to just include the stuff that had already been on the site?

If you have a process that seems to be working, use it

On a side note, I edited the comments you made with your other email address, so these now show up in your “count” (rather than 1 address having credit for 38 and 1 having credit for 5). I doubt that you care, but if you notice a small jump, this would be why.

Thanks for sharing your way of doing things. I dabble in writing from time to time, and have sort of a haphazzard way of doing it. It is always good to see the methods and thought process of somebody more experienced.

Every quarter, I will collect all of the stories from quater and make them available to my regular readers in a convenient PDF.

I’ll also write a special, longer story specically for inclusion in the PDF. Whereas the typical Fiction Friday stories are 700-1200 words, the once-a-quarter (calendar quarter) will be between ten and twelve thousand words.

Since I’m relatively new here at your blog, would you clarify what you mean by ‘end-of-quarter’ short story? Do you mean end of calendar quarters like the seasons…you write a short story every quarter?
