Tomorrow will bring our 6th installment in our series, Building A Short Story, and we are swimming in the depths of the short story pool.
For those of you who haven’t been following along, we started out 6 weeks ago splashing around with a 55 word fiction piece as the cornerstone on which we are building a short story. Each week we have rewritten the story by doubling the word count and last week we dove headfirst into the requirements for a short story, with 1760 words.
There have been some really cool aspects about this project that Carrie and I have taken on; not the least being that we seem to have almost mastered a unified voice. Another great part of this whole exercise has been the fact that we haven’t re-written so much as we have built around the previous week’s entry.
Anyway, join us tomorrow for what are to be some big surprises, and if you have been working this exercise with us, drop us a link and we will be sure to include you in the posts.
Until tomorrow!
