Welp, I did it: 12 short stories in 12 months with Deadlines for Writers. The monthly prompts have been really useful and the community is super encouraging. The next step for me is to find folks who can give me slightly more direct feedback. Who wants to tell me 3 things that suck about my writing?

Like getting cornered at a party by the most socially awkward guy in the room, then finding out he's more interesting than you expected. #writing #writingcommunity

Another recent piece of fiction, this one slightly longer. 'The Longest Walk' was longlisted for this year's Anthology short story award, so people seem to like it. See what you think.

Today, I release another short story into the wild. A teenage girl sneaks out on her parents, for an unusual reason.
This story was in response to the prompt 'delightful' from Deadlines for Writers, with a strict 300 word limit.
Hope you like it.
