A Quiet Place

Short Story, or Novel?

Inspired by a real-life event, I started making notes for what I thought might be an exciting short story idea. Fifty pages later, with a plot that’s still developing, these notes could form the outline for a novel. But. Is this a novel I want to write? Could I stay the course of something much darker than my first completed novel and my current WIP? I’m not sure. Not sure, at all…

I once attempted a thriller, but frightened myself so much that I couldn’t complete it.

I will finish the notes/outline in the next few days, put them/it aside and return to my WIP … and stay with it until the first draft is DONE.

Then, perhaps I’ll know what to do with that dark and thrilling idea.
