Ugh. I have a really hard time writing stories under 4000. I've only managed it a few times and then only sold...two? I just don't like writing them well enough to keep at it. I'm a novella and novel-length writer at heart. (Although my work is always better after CUTTING when I get to the end of that process.)

Good luck. Try not to blow anything up and NO home experimenting!
