This year I’ve decided to concentrate on writing short as well as long. I’ve been writing a crazy number of new stories, not all of which will see a polished draft. Many of them are the usual 2000 word length but I’ve been writing some very short ones as well.
If you are interested in short short stories, I recommend Holly Lisle’s method to get the creative juices flowing. Hers is not the only way, but if you like to plan out your stories, this may work for you: How to Write Short Fiction That Doesn’t Suck.
So far I’ve entered four contests in the past two months.
For poets and poetry fans, I’ve also posted a couple of my poems recently on Wattpad which you can read here.
The titles are:
(Short listed by the Science Fiction Poetry Association Contest)
(About plastic and the marine garbage patch)
Happy reading, and writing.
