I'm sure you'll be fine. :)<br /><br />Martha~ That's a great point. The story does matter the most.<br /><br />Jeff & Nutschell~ I agree. I like shorter time frames as well.

I just like it when the action keeps going, needing only the occasional pause to catch my breath from the last major event in the story.<br /><br />It's a pleasure to meet you via the A-Z Challenge!Jeff Beeslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17935580053176710609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815891608238329810.post-83984809196199751372011-04-23T17:36:16.906-07:002011-04-23T17:36:16.906-07:00Hmmm, since I'm a reader not a writer I can...Hmmm, since I'm a reader not a writer I can't say I've ever thought much about it.

It's a historical and in order to have a happy ending, it should normally take place or a period of ten years. There's not way to start later or end earlier.So I'm either going to have to sacrifice historical accuracy or do some really big time jumps :( I'm hoping it won't matter so much in a story for adults.Clarissa Southwickhttp://www.gemstatewriters.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815891608238329810.post-71902811476342376642011-04-23T10:55:56.299-07:002011-04-23T10:55:56.299-07:00Luana~ That's a good point.

For adults, no big deal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694966948181862580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815891608238329810.post-62909836493923066182011-04-23T09:24:25.099-07:002011-04-23T09:24:25.099-07:00I enjoy a short time-frame; less than a month.
