Yes.
One day I'll have to find out what happens next.
David wrote: "One day I'll have to find out what happens next."That's why I don't like shorts: if they're interesting, I always want the rest of the story.
And it takes a LOT more effort to produce the rest of the story.
I wrote my short story Too Late (on my blog and on Wattpad), and it took 167K words to even start answering 'what next.'
Yes.I think I'm going to start keeping these story scenes back until I develop them into a full short story, then put them up on Wattpad maybe.
It's been a while since I wrote a short story, I ought to get back into the habit sometime.

What are your goals for yourself as a writer? Me, I'm the kind who goes all in on something - the novel I just published (my first) took fifteen years of hard work to write. And, looking back, I don't feel the time was wasted. And I can't wait to getting back to writing the rest of that story.
All the eggs in one basket - yes, but what a basket! IMHO, of course.

Like you my first few books took years each to write, but now I understand the elements of story much better I'm moving towards 3 or 4 a year.

Is there a choice?
David wrote: "Is there a choice?"Yes. Most men don't.
Why do I say that? Because I nagged husband for five years about getting a snowblower for the driveway - no dice. His cardiologist says it ONCE, the machine is acquired.

Most men don't what?
Sorry, I wasn't listening.

Our ONLY revenge is that on average we live 7 years longer than our men. You can have your say (or lack of it), but passive-aggressive behavior has its cost. And not just to the intended victim.
Plus I insisted his life insurance be paid up if he was going to go out there and weekend-warrior-like shovel snow - with no other exercise all winter. Ditto now that he insists on going on 20-mile bike rides with over a week between them - and no other exercise during the interim.
Meanwhile, I write - and boy, do I have material! Don't want me to bottle all that reaction up, do you?
Oh, wait - you aren't listening.
Never mind.
Of course I'm listening.And I agree with whatever it was you said.

It's okay; I'm not listening back.

Thank you. I was SO worried.
