Hello, my new authors. Here's the question: Are you writing a standalone story or a series? I keep reading where it's best to write a series. So that way, the readers keep coming back for more of your work. But what happens if you don't have a series in you to write and only a standalone? I personally started with writing short stories, then I branched out into stand-atones. Although I have a problem with writing too many words for my stories. One I'm working on now has 322,000 words in it. Which I'm attempting to cut down to at least under 100,00 words. I know I write a lot. I have to learn to cut back and to cut out unnecessary words. But I'm just starting, and that will probably happen to you too. Anyway, I say start writing short stories, then graduate to a standalone book of say 50,000 words or less and see how you do. As long as you have written something. That's all that matters. Writing is an ongoing learning process. It will take time to get good at it, so be patient and just enjoy the craft.
