I actually do very much!!!<br /><br />@Tyrean: I hear you! I'm hoping to finish my novel -- at least a complete draft -- soon (this year?).<br /><br />@Simon: Excellent!!! I'll keep my eyes eagerly open for the news!<br /><br />@Gina: Yep. April has been a blogathon. May will be much more focused on actual writing! (I hope...)<br /><br />@Tonja: It is a HUGE accomplishment. And so far, for me, only a distant goal, lol!<br /><br />@Nicole: I agree. I love writing and reading short stories, but when I settle in to do "real" reading, it's always a novel.StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-84472885663188627772012-04-16T21:49:17.897-04:002012-04-16T21:49:17.897-04:00I think novels give more of a chance to explore ch...I think novels give more of a chance to explore characters, worlds and stories on a deeper level. For me, they draw me in much more than short stories.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199047805421218885.post-51972383203802657272012-04-16T16:37:02.141-04:002012-04-16T16:37:02.141-04:00I like writing novels - they are like large, compl...I like writing novels - they are like large, complex, multi-dimensional puzzles that I can change at will. It's fun.

It's work, but it's worth it. I hope that when I'm done with this revision that I feel ready to query.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.com
