Some plots are just too complex for that short a piece. Some ideas lend themselves to the sharp simplicity of a novella. Not that they can't be complex, but they are distilled. <br /><br />--> I didn't get the trench coat/duster right. I want her to look like a little Harry Dresden. And the proportions on Curse's dress are off. But you only get better with trying. :o)<br /><br /><br />FYI: I updated the bio page for EVFiL if you want to peek http://tinyurl.com/3pg8yy6Liana Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587774916354749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-84758042962361380442011-04-21T14:38:21.942-04:002011-04-21T14:38:21.942-04:00I had the feeling that with my brevity and degree ...I had the feeling that with my brevity and degree of application, a novella could work well for me as a starting point. ;)<br /><br />P.S.

This one is going better.<br /><br />Misa- I'm writing this to target an anthology, and I don't think there was enough plot to stretch it to a full novel anyways.
