To summarize here is my previous post:
So I’m not doing NaNoWriMo this year because they got all BLM and I don’t want to support the destruction of statues.
But of course I still wanted to do some sort of writing challenge, so I decided to do do a short story challenge a month early in October. So that’s what I’m doing. I call it the 100 Short Stories Challenge, and my goal is to work on 100 short stories and that’s what I’ve been doing. These are short stories that I’d already started and had lying around on my computer and my secondary goal is to write an additional 25,000 words.
So that’s why I’ve been kind of absent and haven’t finished or posted much artwork lately.
Also I think coming up with and working on some kind of short story challenge is a great idea, whatever time of year you do it, because it can be a great way to help finish those loose short stories that you have lying around or to start new and better ones.
Aand here is the update:
I did work on all 100 of those short stories, so I achieved that goal! Yay!
With my word count goal I only wrote 19840 words (not counting what I’d already written before), leaving me 5160 words short. Oh well.
Anyway I’m calling it done. And of course I will continue working on the stories, just not as a monthly challenge.
I’m starting to really like monthly challenges, I’m finding them a great way to stay motivated and get more work done.
Aaand since I did my totes not NaNoWriMo challenge in October I’m going do do my totes not Inktober in November so stay tuned for that!
Just because 2020 is a dumpster fire doesn’t mean I can’t work on art!
