Ray Bradbury 52-Week Writing Challenge – Week 31

Challenge Overview

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!
