A short piece. Totally new, not one off the pile. Am really, really proud of this.  Love the voice and the subject.

Sent out. Hope it gets accepted.

The story I sent off yesterday got accepted. Yay!

If you want to be a writer, you should journal.

Really, you should.

Fourth day=fourth submission

I didn't work on the story I'd hoped to revise, so I cleaned up a flash and sent it out. 

I was up at 2:30 and could not fall back to sleep.  Mid-morning, I decided to lay down "for a minute" and then woke up and it was almost four!  Had errands to do.  Day gone.  But I can't let that keep me from my work.

I need to finish that stack of stories to help clear energy. And I will. No matter what.

All the Flies You can Eat

A short-short story

Got a story out. Still a bit of a struggle but I'm just going to have to accept that I am going to be rusty until I start writing regularly.

Have picked tomorrow's story and I have all day to work on it. Don't think it needs a lot of revision but it might.

Gonna go spend an hour on the novel and then read stories for a contest I'm helping judge.

Writing was a bit of a struggle but it's all my doing. Or really, not doing.

I have not written consistently in years.  I tried working on two different pieces but ugh, could not connect with the characters and tell their tales.

Worked on the novel, but I've got to do some reading to do to fill in some gaps, plus there are nine characters, though five will take secondary status.  I feel lost and overwhelmed but I'm going to reopen that file tomorrow and days after.

Sent a story out. One that had been completed and previously sent out and sent back. Not the one I'd hoped to send out -- but still.

Day 1

Got a story off.

One a day

I am going to send a story out every day in January.  I've picked the ones that need the least research. They are also mainly flash or micro pieces.

Revise and send out. Repeat.

Hopefully 'get published happens somewhere in the process in the process.
