Have decided I need to focus on the short story form. Oddly, I now feel that I actually have an inkling of how to write for it, when for the last decade it has baffled me. So my goal is twelve short stories this year that I would be comfortable submitting for publication somewhere.
The first is now underway. It is amusing me, and riffing off an idea that’s been bouncing around in notebooks for the best part of that aforementioned decade. It’s reassuring to know that good ideas will wait patiently for me to catch up with them.

We would be keen to read any of them if you want praise/feedback/proofreading 🙂
much obliged!
Dude, are you up for a s/s swap if I get my shit together?!
Sure thing!
Woot, will create a posit note 🙂
BTW 12 stories a year is an admirable goal (4 weeks being a good turnaround time to get something completed)
Crikey that’s keen. I got back into short stories last year and have about 3 in draft status. I’d be keen to proof and comment too, and flick mine your way if that suits.
Its much easier to keep ideas trapped on paper than in the mind, I’ve found, but there are often even more ideas locked up in paper waiting to be found than there are floating around in the brain.
Odd.
