Introduction to My Experiment
Everyone Likes a Good Origin Story
But that doesn't mean that this one will slake your thirst
Ray Bradbury said if you write one story a week for a year, then by the end of the year you'll be a good writer because it's impossible to write 52 bad stories. Even if the first 51 stories are bad, then at the very least, the last one will be half decent. Practice makes better.
So that's my goal with this blog.
I'm hoping that if I write one short story a week -- or 52 short stories over an indeterminate period of time -- then I will become a better writer. Maybe, I'll do this over the course of a year...more likely it will be a while longer.
Some parameters:
- These stories will be in rough draft form
- They will be ones that I don't intend on formally publishing
- They are practice exercises, not pieces to be perfected
- They will be fiction, anything that sounds real is used fictionally
