One of the many tributes to Ray Bradbury last week included a list of tips he put forward for aspiring writers. One of those tips – Write at least one short story a week – did spur me onto to come up with this plan, and to that end I asked the Twitterverse for some prompts on Monday. I got a healthy response and so set about implementing the plan.
Not sure if this will work, but I’ll give it a go, other priorities my come along that mean there could be a break in proceedings, but I’ll give it my best shot.
The first prompt I had was It Always Seemed To Rain On A Wednesday, which prompted me to write what comes next.
Wow, that’s an ambitious plan! Good luck! Maybe I’ll try it too…
Thanks for the comment, fingers crossed I can stick to it.
That’s a great idea – I’ve been trying to write just one short story for about a month now! My problem is keeping them short.
I took part in something called The Summer Shootout over on the Pill Hill Press forum last year. It took place over 6 weeks, all involved were given prompts and had a week to write something. Then the stories were handed out and we all had a week to read and critique. Was a good experience and did get three good short stories out of it. Not sure if I’ll be able to keep up with doing this one a week, but its a challenge.
