#writerscoffeeclub 10 June: Do you revise and add more plot if you feel your story is too short?
Not purely for length, but if the plot arc feels inadequate in some way I might.
For example, in revising #TooHotToHandle I've added a prologue to give a better sense of the world and the history of the two characters. This also meant that less had to be infodumped in chapter one.
