Stories 8 and 9

Hit a serious plateau between eight and nine. Eight bled into today. It has the potential to be the set up for a series of stories

I'll tell you, I think my single biggest growth period as a writer was when I started forcing myself to write even when it wasn't working and I wasn't inspired. I'm looking forward to being able to do a similar challenge to the one you're doing now to force myself to produce on a regular schedule, too. Keep it up!

You're absolutely right: the slogging is where the challenge it. I've hit the same places in yoga, cycling, swimming, etc. A friend of mine is going through it with dieting/exercising. It's funny to hear her use nearly the same language I do when talking about the slog.

I started getting complacent with NaNo. The FM challenge is a new and wonderful shake-up. I recommend it.

Sounds not a little fascinating. Are you going to post the actual stories at some point?

Hi Blake.
They're all posted over at Forward Motion for Writers, on their May challenge board (for registered users). I will be expanding and cleaning some of them up so I can shop them around, but that'll be after May.

Sixteen awaits...
