And if you want to later you can always go back and fill in the years with more stories.

Seeing a character evolve and grow is essential, and if that growth and evolution brings them back to where they started -- but from an entirely new perspective -- it's a great thing.

I'm discovering I like short stories better because it is usually only one event you have to depict through emotions and circumstances.
