Which do you prefer to write/read, novels or short stories?
Have you ever challenged yourself to stay within a word count?

I like short stories just to get the juices flowing when I'm writing something longer. I can't concentrate on one plot only, I need to jump around a bit and short stories help with that!
I try to make my chapters about the same length so it's usually the first couple of chapterst hat set the bar for the rest of them.
mare:
I still don't remember the one I had originally planned on asking but here's a different one:
Do you enjopy writing challenge stories? If you do what has been your favorite challenge to compete in so far and do you have any ideas for upcoming challenges?
If you don't enjoy writing them, why not? What's wrong with you? Are you like a total doofus or something? lmao ;)
Do you read other people's challenge stories? And how do you feel yours compares to the others you have read? If you've read these stories have you left reviews for them?

Lots for me to catch up on after 4 days away!
Thanks for the Save A Prayer mentions Julie and Mare, I loved writing that :)

I'm going to go with Song For The Undead. I clicked on it because I liked the summary, it looked really interesting. I would usually read this kind of thing, but at the time it was first posted, we didn't know it was going to be about zombies as the banner and the story name was something different. I thought it was going to be something like Survivors (A BBC show about a flu epidemic which wiped out most of the world), but it was so much more!

I don't mind really, I'll read/write both.
The only time I try to stick to a word count is with the challenges. Most of my chapters are between 1000-2000 words.
