Sheree, I’m so glad you’ve shared your story here, in serialization. I’m now trying to write longer stories, getting away from flash/micros (though I still love to read them … and occasionally to try my hand at writing them), and so I applaud your longer work, which I’m learning has its own unique challenges. I also understand what you’re saying about characterizations in longer vs. shorter fiction. This is a wonderful story, and your ending—beautiful! Deb

Thank you, Deb! So much. This story was written back when my time was far more hectic, so it took awhile. Also, thanks for the input on the serialization read. I find online longer work more enjoyable to read in segments.

I think serialization is a great idea, Sheree. As I’m writing longer stories, I keep wondering if people would like them more if they could read them in “episodes” or “chunks.” So now you’ve given me something to think about. Geez, didn’t Dickens (and others) write serials back when? If I were ever to write a “longer thing,” like a novel, I’d like to try it as a novel-in-flash, or whatever it’s called.
