Assortment 7

<p>This is the seventh collection of short stories. As with the other six there is no theme no shared genre no fixed format. Most come from contest submittals. The nice thing about these contests is it gives the writer a chance to venture out of his/her comfort zone. Sometimes you'll be asked to write all dialogue with no descriptions. Other times it will be only dialogue without tag lines or beats (who said what and what were they doing when they said it).</p><p>The stories can be short (less than 300 words) or long (up to 5000 words). They can have any theme or prompt – a poem song lyric a picture a comic book cover anything. The goal is to develop as many writing skills as possible. You never know when you'll need a new approach.</p><p>I hope you like these.</p>
