Actually, no. I prefer an anthology.
What happened is that I did two or three - and they seemed to be of novella length, or just short of novella length (long novelette) - and then did some more and these newer ones appeared to be regular novelettes in length.
I actually find it easier to do collections, because it's less work. I've done any number of collections, even two or three massive collections. (I'm thinking Robert E. Howard here. That one, however, did take some time, because I collected every single PD story available with the exception of the Conan stories.)
It doesn't get any easier than simply copying and pasting onto what's already in BD and to watch the screen count grow and grow. I like fat omnibuses, fat collections.
As I continued to post these yesterday, my misgivings continued to grow. Now I'm wrestling with the idea of deleting all those short stories (from yesterday), and making an author omnibus as I almost always have done in the past. I'm still thinking about this.
Right now, I'm working on a PD that's NOT Sci-Fi. And then, I need to face the fact that I have 19 or 20 more volumes to do in the Presidential Papers series. Doing those takes so long, it strikes me as almost self-masturbatory.
