Eight weeks ago tomorrow, we started the series Building A Short Story. The series is an exercise in creating greater works of fiction from smaller, micro-fiction. In our case, we started with a 55 word fiction piece called The Heart of the Hound.

For those who are just jumping in: we have been rewriting the story each week by doubling the word count and our goal was to reach the widely accepted word count for short stories. That count is between 1001 and 7500 words.

We reached the short story land two weeks ago at the count of 1760.

Stop in tomorrow and read the story, comment, and drop off links to your efforts if you have been playing along at home.

Years ago I started writing Flash Fiction for just the sheer enjoyment of writing, and now it has turned into a full blown addiction. I can't quit the horse, man! Another dirty little secret about me is my ability to write all kinds of web content. SEO content, articles, blog posts, manifests; you name it, I'll write it. Looking for some help?
