Yes, was the consensus, as long as there's a story there -- something that has a promise, as Jan put it, or a reason for someone to keep reading.
That made me think that the St. Petersburg Times has an occasional feature that various writers produce, but I couldn't think of the name. Well, it's called 'Encounters' and described like this:
Encounters is dedicated to small but meaningful stories. Sometimes they play out far from the tumult of the daily news; sometimes they may be part of it. To comment or suggest an idea for a story, contact editor Mike Wilson ...
Here's a recent example of one. And you can find several more here. Happy reading. Let me know what you think.
I would love for us to do something similar. I was thinking that if we did this, we'd put a word limit on it. But maybe not. What do you think? And I think, too, that we should come up with some kind of series title/logo. Looooove it though. Let's do it!
