Having failed miserably (too much client editing so not complaining) to do Camp NaNoWriMo this year but wanting to do more writing, I decided within ten seconds of receiving the first of thirty-one emails from Brit Julie (who lives in America but times her emails for us here in Blighty) to do Story A Day May this year. I’d done my first back in 2011 then again in 2012 and finally in 2013, with almost a year’s worth of ‘Fifty 5pm Fictions’ Collections in between.
Unlike all the other stories I’ve mentioned, I’m not going to post them on this blog, sorry about that because I need a stock of short stories to submit to competitions or magazines. The pressure’s then off for me to do one a day, on the day, although I’ll try.
I will let you know how I’m getting on though, and I’ll be posting the prompts, so hope you’ll forgive me but if you want to send me the stories you write (no payment, sorry!), then feel free!
So here we are on Day 30 and if you’d like to join in, today’s prompt is:
You can find the original details at http://storyaday.org/20170530-hansel.
How I’m getting on…
Erm. I started day one but nothing thereafter as I’m doing client (paying) work during the week. I was hoping to catch up the first two weekends but I was at a bookshop launch / client editing both weekends. I have however written all the plots for the stories so far (other than today’s) on the three Tuesday evenings (writing friends and I meet at our local Starbucks – yummy chai latté – every Tuesday night for a two-hour write-in) and I have all the plots done tonight then tomorrow’s tomorrow. Do let me know how you get on.

Do let me know how you get on.
