As I wrote the first, I started finding I could explore all four concepts with one character, over several years of growth. Some of her friends filled in the gaps with subplots.<br /><br />So, I say start off with your novella's, see where they take you. You're a much more experienced writer than when you started Circle of Friends. I'm sure you'll know how to explore your concepts.<br /><br />........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-88672375893030532002012-07-03T22:29:07.269-04:002012-07-03T22:29:07.269-04:00That is a tough question.
