The story behind ’Companion Shorts’
I started writing a Companion Short when I was deep into formatting my very first book. The creative side of my brain was screaming for a chance to write while it was trapped for weeks in the analytical formatting software…orphans, widows, rivers, spacing - HELP!!! Creating a ‘short’ allowed me to survive.
Now, years later, my partner has taken over the formatting (what a blessing!) but I continue to love writing Shorts. Now I use ‘Shorts’ to explore characters, places, or ideas that don’t quite fit into a VarTerels’ Universe novel.
