The thirty-second of fifty-two short stories completed!
This was another week I struggled to brainstorm a complete story, but, also similar to last week, I did and it was with another piece of Star Trek fanfiction. This story came in at 2,370 words. I discovered the emotional story as I was writing it, but it is in a very, very rough shape and would require a good deal of revision to improve.
Onto the next story!
The thirty-first of fifty-two short stories completed!
I struggled this week to brainstorm a story with a full narrative (I usually use the Story Circle plot structure). I ended up giving up on brainstorming a full structure and instead sat down and wrote starting with a single plot idea and discovery-wrote the rest of the story. Surprisingly, it turned out better than expected. I discovered a good emotional story to go along with the plot story. It ended up being a 1,763-word short story set in the Star Trek franchise setting.
Onto the next story!
The thirtieth of fifty-two short stories completed!
As mentioned, Diablo 4 came out last week, and while it has continued to prove a distraction from writing–among other things–it has also proven a source of inspiration. It wrote a 1,084-word flash fiction piece set in Diablo’s horror fantasy world of Sanctuary. I enjoyed writing the story, and it turned out well enough I intend to revise it in the future and de-fanfiction it in order to make it viable for publication.

The twenty-ninth of fifty-two short stories completed!
Diablo 4 came out this week . . . so, yeah, not a lot of writing happened . . .
But I did manage to write a quick piece of flash fiction using the outline Mary Robinette Kowal described in her BYU lecture. It is a 328-word science fiction piece.
Onto the next story!
