NEW BLOG (Week 4)

New blog. New look in case you haven't noticed. I decided I wanted to make this more of a journal type blog and didn't want to mess with all the bells and whistles that come with a regular site. Plus this is free and simple to use. I think I'll be staying here for a while.

So what's new?

Lots.

I've started a yearly challenge of writing a short story a week for an entire year. Actually longer than that. I need to keep this streak going past 72 weeks to beat my friend Harvey Stanbrough's record. So that's a lot of fun.

Of course whenever you start anything new something always has to happen.

For instance I got attacked by a pit bull while I was at work and he chewed my arm up pretty good. I'm off work right now and in between surgeries,s till I manged to get my story for the week done last week. I'm OK as long as I write in short periods throughout the day otherwise if I try and do too much I get sore. So easy does it wins the race.

I'm also involved in a short story a day writing challenge which begins in May. Tomorrow so by the end of the year I should be well past 72 stories but still this has to go on past 72 weeks.

Three stories are done so far as I head into week four

I'll be posting daily and possibly a story from time to time so stop by and have a look around every once in a while. This will get more exciting as this streak gains momentum.

See you soon

NEW STORY CHALLENGE

 Ray Bradbury said in one of his lectures that it is impossible to write 52 bad stories in a row and encouraged writers to write a story a week for a year. He is exactly right. I mean it's Ray Bradbury who wrote well over six hundred stories before he got his first acceptance. Yeah, not many people know about that. If you want some interresting reading google writer rejections and you will learn a thing or two. I'm going to do this challenge plus I'm going to publish the story at the end of the week. I indie publish everything I write for the most part. Though lately I've fallen short on the publishing thing. I've got stories written now that are just sitting in my back log. Does nobody any good that way. To add to that I'm writing two stories a week instead of that one. One story doesn't seem enough to me so I'm adding one. Plus I'd like ot have a hundred stories up by the end of the year and add in small collections. I have to get as many stories u...

So, It's been a while since my last update so way over due. I think this whole virus thing going on had derailed a few things. Regardless I should be udating more than what I'm doing. Going out there squirting bugs and killing mice seems weird with everything pretty much shut down except for fast food drive thrus. Kind of creepy really and has an apocolypse feel to it. But, we shall get through it. Been working on a story for an anthology I'm going ot submit to called 'Evil Cookie Press' The name of the anothology is called Brewtality, so we'll see how that one goes. Just finished it last night and today I have a few touch ups I'm going to make that my creative mind came up with so I'm going to add that in. Very rarely do I take anything out, usually I add. I don't mess with what is already written down unless it's an obvious mistake. I fix errors and leave everything else alone. Also you should check out the new series on NetFlix called Bl...
