Concerning the short stories series that will start tomorrow

Tomorrow, as you might have read, will begin my series of ten short stories in ten days.  Is this too many stories to write in that short of time?  Yes.  I have finished 1.7 of the ten so far, which will mean that I will have to write a shit load in the next few days (including one day that I won't be able to write at all).

Is this too much to expect people to read?  Probably.  But take your time reading these stories!  Pace yourself.

I can say that this is for my benefit, and not for yours.  The only way that I can get into the habit of writing a shit load is to get into the habit of writing a shit load.

Also, because I'm using prompts instead of my own original ideas, I can drop the charade of literary importance of my stories and just be silly.

I can't stress how much this has helped me.  I don't feel the pressure of writing a story that means anything.  The second story, I hope, will be as funny to you reading it as it was for me to write it.  And returning to writing funny stories feels fucking good.  Especially after the melodramatic garbage I wrote at IU.

It has been fun challenging myself.  And I think, tonight, as I write more, it will continue to be fun.  Instead of the struggle that writing something meaningful, I just have the struggle of solving the puzzles these prompts create.


And I think that is one of my strong points.


Anyway, get excited, first story (of ten) tomorrow April 1st, at six o'clock on the dot!
