Thirty-three pages.

Enjoy the stories. Good idea to read short stories to keep motivated. Don't forget to check out Dewey's site for contests.
ReplyDeleteAnother ghost story! Feels very fitting this time of year, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to use short stories. I'm going to add that to my list of suggestions for next year. A novel, a story, a novel, a story would work great for me, I think.
