Like many writers, I am taking part in NaNoWriMo. Not only that, but I am also participating in FlashNano. To add to that, I am doing my version of the Ray Bradbury Challenge.
NaNoWriMo
I am working on a collection of short stories. I wrote most of them for Coffee House Writers, but I am changing them up a bit and adding to them this time. With that said, I have most of the word county already completed.
FlashNano
The goal is to write 30 flash fiction stories. One a day, based on the prompt Nancy Stohlman emails you.
Ray Bradbury Challenge
Instead of writing a short story a week, I am using NaNoWriMo and FlashNano for all that. I also have to read one short story, one poem, and one essay a day. I have a book called Pushcart Prize XXV Best of the Small Presses. The book has both short stories and poems. As for essays. I am reading Is Life Too Long? by Shahar Madjar M.D.
To top that off, I am outlining for my next novel. Lucky for me, it is almost finished. I just want to rearrange and add stuff.
What are you doing for the month of November?
I am also participating in FlashNano. I like your reading challenges. Best wishes!

Oh yeah! It has helped this year to try and keep my word count low for each piece. In a year previous, I tried to write longer and I couldn’t do much. As you may notice on my blog, I wrote for “Inktober” which some interpret as 50 word pieces. So it is nice to be able to write for just a bit longer. But I keep that super short mentality in mind. Having October as a warm-up may have helped. I enjoyed reading your bio and learning a bit more about you and your writing.
