The Story Streak reaches three digits
Summary: The Story Streak: a new short story every day since Monday, August 22, 2011 has reached three digits (100+ stories).
I've been in a productive rhythm every day with my goal of writing at least one new short story (minimum 250 words) every day since Monday, August 22, 2011. You can read the original post explaining my goal here. In that post I talk about allowing myself days off, but so far I have not taken any.
As of this writing, I've gone *108* days in a row. I've entered all 108 shorts into online writing prompt contests and have won either an honorable mention or first place 54/108 times (50%). My longest single story written during this time has been 2,000 words. Interested readers can see them linked for a short time on the fan page here.
Around Halloween 26 of my shorts were Halloween-themed. I took some of these and others during The Story Streak for the young adult horror eBook-only collection: Flash O'Lantern: 13+ stories.
Recently, I've been in the Christmas mode and have written 15 Christmas-themed shorts. A lot of these tales have a Twilight Zone feel to them. In November, I completed NaNoWriMo 2011 (50,000+ words during the month) and wrote over half the first draft of the second book in the Fresh series.
The next plateau in The Story Streak will be 365 days. Seems like a long ways away, but who knows? Should have an announcement on my next novel soon. Back to the writing cave. Thank you for reading!
