The new blog for Western Colorado Writers Forum is up. I blog about a bunch, but this one I think is strongly out of my experience. It’s “Writing a Story a Week for 52 Weeks,” and what it taught me.
Of the 52 stories, 50 of them have sold now (eleven years after they were finished). I started submitting them during the year I was writing, so some sold before I’d written the last one.
The challenge was profound enough for me that I’ve talked about it before. Two of my Rainforest Writers Retreat talks were about it. The first was basically this post. The second involved marketing the stories.
Like many writing thoughts for me, it all starts with Ray Bradbury. He suggested the story-a-week challenge.
As often is the case in my experience, Uncle Ray was right.
