Hey, folks. Wanted to share this with y'all. Some folks came up with this challenge called "Write 1 Sub 1". The idea is to write a story for every week in 2011, meaning 52 stories on the year, and submit those stories to magazines. This apparently was Ray Bradbury's method of operation, back in the day--he'd write and submit a story every week. At any rate, it sounds like a fantastic way to develop one's writing regiment. Steep, challenging, but the results could be wonderful. There's also a monthly version, in which you aim for one story written and submitted per month.
I'm shooting for the weekly goal. And I wanted to encourage everyone around here to check it out and, hopefully, give it a shot. Weekly or monthly. You can get the details on the above-linked blog (in some ways, it's not as scary as it seems; flash stories and the like are acceptable, too, so it wouldn't mean cranking out a 5 or 6k story every week sweatdrop ) and sign up officially, if you want. I thought it'd be cool to get a supportive community going here, too, if people are interested. So check it out, discuss it, gear up, and let's ttly do it.
