Currently writing?

[farad]

Hi all -

I have not managed, I regret, to write every day, but I did finish a story and get it posted, so I count that as a win.  I think my average on my days that I write is keeping me at the 100 words a day, as I tend to knock out about a page when I have the time.

I have managed to keep up with the writing on another story that I hope to finish pretty soon (maybe?). 

But I'm really trying to come up with some SHORT pieces.  Any suggestions?

How are y'all doing??  Any thing inspirational going on?

I haven't written every day either, but rather in my usual fits-and-starts style which so far is just about keeping me on track pledge-wise.

Still have a number of um.. balls in the air.

And I hear you on short pieces! The only way I seem to produce them is from prompts that catch my attention. There really are a lot of good, unfilled ones on the mag7daybook delicious page. Or maybe some kind of mag7 writing exercise - like 'write the first conversation (between any of them) that took place at the end of x episode', something that would force you to be specific? And heh, would then maybe become a short piece... yeah, clutching at straws here.

Chuck Wendig in his terribleminds.com blog posted a challenge yesterday to write the first sentence of a story.

I wrote - well, way more than I needed to.

And they were all Mag 7. I need to couple one of those with a prompt and knock out a something short. SHORT.

SSSSSHHHHOOOORRRRTTTT.

I swear, I have no idea how I manage to get to these monoliths . . .

Which is all to say - YES! YES YES YES! Writing EXERCISES!!!
