Something New

I know I've got the gardening blog to post, but I've come to an important decision about something I've been debating about in the recent days. I've decided I'm going to track my Challenge progress here as well as my troubles and tribulations with it. Kirk never had it so good. By posting publicly, I'm really forcing myself to man up (so to speak). I'll try to keep the bitching and moaning to a minimum, but overall I think this will help me. I've been keeping my struggles and joy in my head and that place is already overcrowded.  

So far I'm on day 53, but I forgot to record day 52's progress. So for both days I ended up writing flash pieces, which I didn't mean to, but that's how they came out. I'm still going to stick to short stories, but if it's really supposed to be flash, I won't force it.

I'm kicking around a few ideas for my next short. I like the world I've been focusing on, and I still feel like there's more to tell. I'm leaning towards writing a third short about the characters then I can kind of wrap up what I've started with them. For now anyway.

Even though I'll be posting Challenge updates here, I'll still post about other happenings. I started this blog to see if blogging was for me and help me articulate my thoughts about my own writing. However, I think things would get pretty boring if all I did was talk about my writing, so I'll have a variety of things going on.

I'm a big fan of Paperback Writer, and she has some great blogging ideas like Top Tens and parodies that I'll throw in every now and then. Thank you PBW!

Okay, garden post tomorrow, I promise. I feel crappy, so I'm calling it.
