Busy Writing Month Over!

Last month I mentioned May would be a busy writing month.  With 45 minutes to spare, I had 31 short stories based on writing prompts written.   There are two more half-written stories where I knew they were going to be longer than the time I had or would be best served as novels.

I didn’t write every day but I wrote more frequently than I do during a normal month.  Doing all that writing jars ideas loose in the head.  It made me want to write about things that weren’t driven by a prompt.  Willpower or foolishness kept me on track and I wrote the ideas down in my writing notebook. 

Due to the sheer volume of stories expected in 31 days I wrote a lot of flash fiction (most of the stories were under 500 words).  This won’t be the end of those stories – at least not all of them.  They are going to rest for a few weeks while I get some editing done on pieces I began before the beginning of May.
