I'm already writing a novel and revising a novel. But I need to get better work habits. So I'm going to write more. This is how I'm doing it: in addition to whatever writing I am also doing, I will write one of those short-shorts every day, from when I started three days ago, till the end of the year. Maybe longer. My other commitment is to mail 5 things every two weeks.

The way the short-shorts have been working is this: I start a piece on one day and finish it on another day. I made a list of titles to which I will be adding as time goes on because some of those titles are just not going to do it for me. I backdated the list so nobody has to look at it, but I linked it in case anybody has anything to say about the list. I'll keep posting the stories here: they'll be locked. I am considering making an inner story flist so I'm not scared of boring people or imposing on their reading list. Like when my father died and I considered making a list that was separate for the grief-infused things, though I didn't end up doing it that time because 1) a few people said they would like to be on it and nobody said they wouldn't and 2)immediately after that I stopped wanting to write about it so much. But this would be different. I will definitely lock these stories, though, because I don't want them to be "published" by putting them out in the open: I will submit the ones I think might fly.

So that's what I'm doing. SSWri2mo.
