For years I've run StoryADayRedux in September because I didn't want to step on the November's noveling toes. But maybe this year it won't matter so much? What do you think? StoryADay November, for those of you who couldn't make May happen (or want to do it all again)? storyaday.org/signup
I love my writer’s group co-working sessions. Where else could you start your day with an animated discussion of “slinked vs slunk”? So validating :D

So much great info about writing short fiction in @storyaday.bsky.social #StoryADay posts! I am writing SUPER short stories (some only a few sentences 😁) away from the limelight (not posting). I'm late starting but that's ok.
Who else is going to jump in late with me?

Wondering what StoryADay November is all about? I hopped onto YouTube earlier to talk about it. (All the essentials in under 3 mins, then me--enthusing--for another 8!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE9J...
