May 2012

Last May didn’t work out for me but I’m excited to give the challenge another shot.

I’m still trying to decide how I want to structure my stories:

  • free for all? following prompts willy-nilly
  • short interconnected stories that I can later expand into a longer/short story or novella
  • use it to world build and get to know characters in novel (I think this is cheating but is really tempting me)

I looked back at my stories from the past two May’s and found that I had a few gems (even a smaller few that I’ve submitted)!

Goals for May

To write at least 5 days a week (ie- give myself padding for finals & such)
To blog at least 5 days a week (ie- get back into the blogging flow)
To put all my stories in the same place (ie- ORGANIZE)

Where I’ll be

I’ll be updating my blog here and posting in the forums but will probably be hanging out on Google+ too.  It really helped me stay focused during NaNoWriMo last year.  Here’s my G+ profile plus my About.me page where you can find me elsewhere online.

What about you?

Are you doing StoryADay this May?  Check out The Rules (they aren’t hard so relax!).

The busy month of May

Second May attempting the Story A Day challenge. Last year, I completed 27 stories, one which is making the rounds at publication. 

A few things I’m doing differently this year:

  • Using a dedicated blog to chart the challenge. 
  • Shoot for one 1,000 + story a week minimun.
  • At least one week of interconnected stories.

I’ve been attempting the Write1Sub1 challenge (the monthly version) but am having a hard time submitting pieces. It gets easier right?

Oh yeah, did I mention I’m doing the Walk for Hunger on May 1st?  Maybe I can brainstorm a bunch of ideas on the walk.
