Submitted to #FuriousFiction and #RhymingStoryChallenge today. The Rhyming was particularly challenging for me and I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Happy to get something in though. On to #twistedtournament

Days 11-12
#43daysofwritinginsanity And what do I do instead of working on my 3 stories for #Foofaraw?
Work on an unrelated story for an Anthology call due tomorrow.
And celebrate my 58th trip around the big gas ball.
I better get cracking. Sunday is coming up fast.

Usually I stress out trying to submit something last minute. For #WBFear, I wrote and edited 3 stories and the stress was "Did I submit the right one?"
Nice problem to have.
Anyway #43daysofwritinginsanity continues with #Foofaraw.
I signed up for three stories. 1.5-3k. I have 7 days. No problem. 🙄

Day 9.
Completed two drafts for #WBFear. One is still over by 200 words, but I'll cut it down in the morning. Then decide on which one to submit.
If I get real ambitious, I may finish drafts 3 & 4.
Then on to #foofaraw. Love my ideas for those stories. Looking forward to starting them.

#43daysofwritinginsanity
This was just a day of regulatmr insanity. Doggo woke me up early. ☹️ Got to work ar 7. Forgot my laptop. 😠
Went to my car to go home and battery died. 😡
Realized didn't have my phone. 🤬
It did get better from there.
On the writing front. Stared at a blank screen.

A day of calm. No writing, no research. Have an idea for #WBFear, but it hasn't quite grabbed me yet.

Day 3b
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Good news is that I absolutely love the story and can let it breathe. Looking at about 1,000 words but could grow to 2k or so. It will find a home.
My #jerboalit and #NYCM500 stories are done so I can rest.
Not so fast. #WBFear prompts just dropped. 🤦♂️

Day 3a
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Woke up very early this morning to finish my #furiousfiction and struggled with my wordcount. My story refused to drop below 650. With 19 minutes to spare, I did a hack job and went to submit. And...
Time change in Australia. Missed the deadline.
DOH!

Day 2
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Ended up with a massive headache. Not very conducive to getting any writing done.😟 However, jotted down some ideas for all three contests. And got a good start on the one for #furiousfiction. It's a bit long at 800 words and may be tough to cut down.

Day 1
#43daysofwritinginsanity starts off with a bang. Received prompts for all three contests this weekend. Yep. Three.
#FuriousFiction #JerboaLit #NYCM500
This is my anniversary weekend. So glad I married an understanding wife. For some reason she puts up with this foolishness.
