The short stories I write aren't romances - I'm aiming at the short story market in women's magazines. So far I've written dark humour and ghost stories! And there is an excellent blog called womagwriter.blogspot.com/ that has a ton of information about all the writing guidelines of all the woman's magazines so I don't even have to stress about that either! Good luck with the Embrace launch.

I'm going to guess that your one was the train journey one? Am I right? LOL<br /><br />Hi Sally - thanks for stopping by - and good luck with your short stories. Have you had many pubbed?<br /><br />Hi Judy - thanks for stopping by - and thanks for the vote of confidence - I need it!<br /><br />Hi Jackie - thanks for the lovely support. Ohh I do love blogland - where would you get such a lovely bunch of people all wishing the best for you? BTW - never say never on writing short - I found it quite easy really once I put my mind to it. I'm normally writing 70k + books so 1000 words seemed like a no-no. But it did actually work! Go on - give it a go!

But, keep trying and you will get there.
