I only barely won NaNoWriMo this year, and for an Overachiever (35k in 24 hours last year!) like me that just *isn't good enough*. So this year, I have a new challenge. A new short story every week, for the whole year until its time to do NaNoWriMo again. + +As with any challenge I set myself, I'll keep the rules intentionally vaugue and let them develop over time. One story, per week, that's all. + +The theory here is nobody can write fifty two stories (which simultanously sounds like a lot and nothing at all! Only that many weeks in a year?!) and have all of them be terrible. It should also force me to work on my weakpoint, compelling characters, whilst allowing me to excercise my worldbuilding often. + +Let's see about proving that prior theory wrong! :p \ No newline at end of file
