>Short Story Month (continued)

>Short Story Month continues, despite the rain. I began this effort (begun by Dan Wickett at Emerging Writers Network) with a plan to discuss at least 20 Short Story collections during the month of May. I missed yesterday–just didn’t get the book finished in time–but will post about another collection later today, giving me 4 in 5 days. If I can stay close to that pace, I’ll reach the goal.

I’m not alone in this, by the way. Jeff, Matt and Callie (who, like me, is focusing on collections) are also posting about stories this month . . .

There’s some irony here. Usually I also write stories in addition to writing about them, but I just started my first screenplay, so that’s what I’ll be doing this month!
