Short Story Mania!

I've just finished writing a short story and I am really pleased with how it turned out. Valpot challenged me to write a fantasy short story for Alienskin, and we both spent most of the day plotting out and writing our stories. I ended up writing a horror instead of a fantasy, but I'm going to try and write the fantasy tomorrow. I haven't written a short story in so long, and doing this exercise today made me realise that I can write them relatively pain free, so it is something to think about doing again on a more regular basis.

Yes, it's a good exercise, and once the idea is there, you're experienced enough to write the story quickly and well.

I enjoyed it very much - a great twist on what I thought it was!
