The other night, like two weeks ago, I had my window open and then a HUGE moth came in, and I had to chase it and I shot it down, but... I didn't see where exactly it fell, and I still have the corpse lost here, somewhere :P Guess what ???

Well, my fanfics are the only stories that I write in that category, but I have great fun writing them after all... Would you like to check out the fics I have at fanfiction.net ? The range of my Lash novels goes from 64000 to 90000 words, but the first Lak novel is 45000 and I think that the second -advancing very good- will be around 34000 They are shorter, but I think they are more concentrated and also more dream-like !!! Good luck with TF, I hope you finish it :-) 7500 or less is very short, but writing stories like that can be fun !!!

TF is undergoing some rethinking in terms of character backstories and world development. Short stories are usually stories with fewer than 7500 words.

Don't force yourself to include more dialogue than necessary, Marie... it's not really good for a story, unless you feel that it's required indeed... What happens to me is that my novels usually have what I call lost scenes, and even lost chapters... a lost chapter appeared in my first Lash novel after I had finished, and then a lost scene, and the second novel had a very beautiful lost scene as well They are pieces of the story that were missing, and even though the narrative felt well without them the addition makes the story richer... Does that happen to you ??? Maybe you write like me !!!
