20 points!

I sent in my Q2 WotF entry on Friday, bringing me up to 20 points. After a bit of revision work, I think I'm going to take another crack at novel-writing.

19 points!

I finished a new story and posted it to Baen's Bar. Unfortunatly I realized after getting a few critiques that something that I had intended to be very clear was totally unclear to every reader who read it. So this one's going to take at least one more revision. Oh well, that's one of the reasons I like Baen's Bar. I can get that kind of feedback, and I have a second chance!

The 20th point will be coming soon as well. I have a new short story I'm working on for the Writer's of the Future contest. I think it has a lot of potential, and I've gotten a few critiques to base another revision on. A little more polish and it'll be ready to go out the door. I just have to mail it by the end of the month to enter it in this quarter. :)

17 points!

I FINALLY made some writing progress after stalling for a month. I got a big new project done for the quarterly Writers of the Future (WotF) competition. And I finished polishing another piece that had been sitting on the back burner since November. That was another Liberty Hall one. So I'm up to 17! Almost to 20!

Liberty Hall flash challenge, 15 points!

I tried something new on Friday. I went to a site called Liberty Hall, a writer's website. They have a weekly Flash Challenge. You sign in and it shows you a trigger: a phrase, or a few words, to give you the idea for a story. Then a timer starts and you have 90 minutes to write a complete short story. I tried it out and I thought it went quite well. I didn't have time to go back over it, so it probably had some typos, but the story is decent enough. 1300 words total. I gave it a quick polish yesterday and sent it off, so that brings me up to 15 points! :)
