Good luck, Paul! Will you posting any of these, or are they intended for remunerated publishing?

Thanks for the advice, James. 7500 is, I believe, the upper limit of the short story category – I’m working on the theory that more than a little trimming and editing will be required once it’s done, and I wanted a target to work toward, no matter how arbitrary. We shall see what happens.

Keep going. Definitely finishing a story no matter what I think of it has helped me, even if I rushed off an ending that I knew was rubbish. Somehow it’s easier to do something constructive to a finished piece.

Also 7500 is quit a long short, I reckon. Not sure what the average short published these days is?
