I enjoy writing, but I have never been able to finish a story. I think that if I try to write a short story, or a series of short stories, I may be able to finish them. Also, if I do write several short stories I can later, if I decide to, put them together to make a longer book. What do you think? Have you ever read more than one short story about the same character. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
I think that’s a great idea! And yes, there is one amazing series like that, it’s called "The Night World" by L. J. Smith (author of "The Vampire Diaries". It is very many short stories, all in the same "era" or "rules" or whatever you want to call it. What I mean is, all the stories fit together. There isn’t all the same characters in each one, but they mention them and it all fits together, or lets say a smaller character from one of the mini stories would be the main character in another. I love that so much, because then you get everybody’s perspective, or learn more about them. You should try reading "The Night World Volume 1", I think it would really help you and give you some ideas for your stories!!!
Hope I Helped !
