If you’re reading this then I succeeded in a personal challenge I set myself this time last year. I signed up for the challenge to write one short story a week for fifty-two weeks, and I recently uploaded the last one.
For those of you following my blog, or curious/concerned about the variety of pen names, genres and other “stuff” I’ve been writing this year, the challenge goes some way to explaining that.
What I discovered was, I like short stories. I need to get better at them, but I enjoy writing them. Some are available to buy, some are in collections, and some are in a digital pile as I wonder what to do with them. But they are done.
What’s next?
Another challenge?
That’s the question I’m asking myself at the moment. And while I think I have an idea, I’m still mulling it over.

A suggestion: once a month (or every 2 months, for example) you pick a story that you left behind and try to make something out of it, a development of some kind. For one year.
It’s a good suggestion, and I like the “for one year” aspect. Hmmm…
