Even though I've written several full length novels and short stories I like the idea of this challenge.

So I'm tacking this onto the third tier of resolutions thus having it as a goal but not a major one.
To reiterate my resolutions are shaping out as:
Primary:
1. Final Draft of a project (MD, TYW, or OTTM)
Secondary:
2. Read 36 books (3 books / per month goal)
3. Create 1 piece of art
4. Write 100 words per day
5. Travel to a new city
Tertiary:
6. Take a language course
7. Take a dance class (preferably tap)
8. Practice on my piano (4 hr/month)
9. Learn more about music production/book some studio time at the library
10. Take and complete some new online courses (minimum 2)
11. Participate in a marathon
12. Workout twice a week
13. 52 Short Stories Challenge
I almost feel like I should just go up to 15. I know another resolution I have that I haven't voiced is to update this blog everyday. We'll see how that goes.
If there's one thing I am utterly terrible at it's writing short stories. I don't know why but they're just not good. I'm reading Roald Dahl's biography though so maybe I'll pick up the rest of his books and see if I can imitate him!
ReplyDeleteYeah short stories are not easy. I like the length but trying to concentrate a story into one is definitely a challenge for the mind.
