Write 1, Sub 1
So, I’ve been talking about short stories lately. It’s something I’ve really gotten into during the past six months or so. When I first started last year, I found this challenge called Write 1, Sub 1. Basically, you either challenge yourself to both write and submit a short story every week, or every month. I was intrigued by this because I like challenges, and I like anything that gets me to really hone my craft.
Since it’s the start of a new year, I decided to join the challenge. Not the weekly version, that’s a bit too much for me at this point in time. I don’t see how I could possibly write a short story every week for a year without sacrificing my novel writing. Instead, I’m doing the monthly version. Write and submit one short story every month. It combines both my desire to improve my short story writing and get more stories out there circulating.
I’ve already made the challenge for January as last week I wrote a new flash fiction piece, polished it up and sent it out.
The creators of this challenge were inspired by Ray Bradbury and how he used to go about writing and submitting his own stories. He’s someone to aspire to, that’s for sure, with over 400 short stories published. Plus, some of the best science fiction novels ever written.
