Though I was accustomed to writing full-length novels, I accepted the challenge. Much to my surprise, I found short story writing a refreshing change of pace. After finishing the first, called The Closing of the Corner Café, I was inspired to write another, which I called What Nice Blessings.
You'll learn more about my contributions during my visit with Helen Ginger on June 14 at http://straightfromhel.blogspot.com/
My stop is but one in a massive Blog Book Tour by the authors of the collection, as well as fellow members of the BBTCafé. Stay tuned for more details about the tour.

Hi. I'm awarding you The Kreativ and Versatile Blogger Awards for a great site, see details at http://www.tracikenworth.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteCongrats on meeting the challenge, Morgan ... although it goes against my philosophy: never volunteer for nothin'.
ReplyDeleteI am very careful of what I volunteer for, Christopher. (g)
DeleteTo clarify, we plan to offer our collection free as many days as are allowed, and will widely spread the word then. More details to follow.
ReplyDeleteI look like I'm cooking up something else, don't I? Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteDani, I'm scared. LOL
ReplyDeleteTraci, thank so much for giving the blog the awards. So glad you like the blog and visit often.
Christopher, none of us volunteered. Dani dragged us kicking and screaming into the project. Can't you tell by her picture? LOL
Yay! Looks like we're all excited about this one. Morgan's blogging about it, Marian's blogging about it, I blogged about it... (http://abnormallyparanormal.blogspot.com/2012/05/to-boldly-go-where-no-dark-fantasy.html) And to think, it's not even blog tour time yet! :D
ReplyDeleteThis collection of short stories was such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is really exciting. It's been fun and educational following this topic.
ReplyDeleteDani had a great idea. I enjoyed the chance to write short stories again. Hadn't done that since college!
ReplyDeleteHelen and I worked pretty well with the back-and-forth editing routine, too. Ready for Round 3, Helen? It's only about 100 pages and you're not doing anything this weekend, right?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun it's been to be part of The Corner Cafe project!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to get the ball rolling for the Corner Cafe!

Yes, Dani always has something up her sleeve. She dreams of plots to keep us on our toes!

Dani, I still want to interview about this project, when the dust has settled!
ReplyDeleteExciting times! Congratulations to you all.
ReplyDeleteA hearty and heartfelt thanks to Dani, Helen and Bob for pulling all of the ideas together. While I stayed half confused through the process - they knew exactly what they were doing- - - Well, most of the time (snickering). What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteKaren Casey Fitzjerrell
Dani, I don't know where you find the time for so many projects. :D
ReplyDeletethis looks like great fun! Collections of short stories are just the ticket for quick, satisfying reads. Maggie
