May has become synonymous with StoryaDay.org, an extreme writing challenge that pushes writers of all levels to write one a story each day in May. Last year’s challenge kicked my butt and ultimately, I did not complete the challenge. Illness was my biggest setback, but this year is looking up thanks to the removal of a pesky little organ called the gallbladder. Amazing how much havoc such a small organ can wreak in one’s life. To be fair, I didn’t walk away last year empty handed. I wrote several strong stories and my plan is to do the same for Story a Day 2011.
With one difference.
Shadow is going to keep me in check.
This year, I will not be trying to write polished final drafts. I have a lot of ideas swirling around in my head and I want them to flow unimpeded. I’m going to make every effort to just write and worry about editing later. You can still expect daily updates and maybe a few teasers, but I won’t be sharing the stories. I want them to have the opportunity to become something more in the future if I decide attempt publishing.
I’ll be posting updates here and on my Story a Day blog: Thirty-one Stories.
Are you ready for Story a Day 2011?

Yay, I am psyched for you … your energy seems great! More power to you my friend! :O)
Thanks! 😀 This year will be a lot better. Last year I was already suffering from the strange side effects of my gall bladder failing. I can’t believe I suffered so long! LOL
ps love the photo … so cute! :O)
Isn’t she a hoot?! Shadow is the queen of “the look.” 🙂
