@AuthorTiffanyA Good deal - goal setting is the first step!

[Damon Garn @dmgwrites]

@flashNorth Thanks much!

My plan for #nanowrimo2021 is several short stories and several flashes. That's the best I can do right now and I don't want to begin a new novel with two drafts awaiting completion. Anyone else doing something similar? #flashfiction #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #vss365

[NaNoWriMo @NaNoWriMo]

You can now announce your project for NaNoWriMo 2021!

Not quite sure what you're writing yet? Fear not, there is a long and storied (see what I did there) tradition of naming your project something like "Give This A Good Title Later." Let's go! https://t.co/HENB7ahNDR

@BAWilsonWrites I'm facing the same. I write for work all day & that makes it hard to write for pleasure in my personal time. Maybe start something new? Or perhaps a small-scale project? Some flashes or a short story? I'm doing several short stories for #nanowrimo2021 & I'd be willing to partner

"Your starship is named the #Betrayer?"
"Yes. I lead a rebel crew. We will betray the Shining Dynasty's every ideal - slavery, economic tyranny, false religions. No more thought control, no more corruption of human rights. We'll betray it all, for the good of all." #vss365

@laurellit1 There's no reason for those responses.

"Wizards don't have #accidents," grouched Strom shivering naked in the snow.
"You set your own underwear on fire. I hope it was accidental," laughed his dragon companion Ash. "What were you doing, anyway?"
"Avdsrinkge," the mage mumbled.
"What?"
"AVOIDING SHRINKAGE!"

He'd thought to destroy her, to cut out her power like an infected wound. After the procedure, Anlyn dug deep inside for the tiny spark of her magical self that she'd hidden away. She focused the power, amplifying it until it #radiated outward, reigniting her soul. #vss365

I probably can't commit to the usual #nanowrimo2021 50,000 words goal in November. I'm considering doing one ~4000-word short story per week & maybe some flashes instead. Has anyone else ever broken the law but not the spirit of the event? Suggestions & writing partners welcome

Mage-Pilot Anlyn could only stare at the #rivulet of condensation that ran down the control panel a few inches before freezing. The escape pod felt like a coffin, cold and dark with the regret of treachery.

The pod thumped as a tractor beam dragged her toward judgement.

"Today is a day for sad minor chords," I thought, letting an Am ring out on my Tele. "The world is a little darker, the love a little dimmer, the environment a little bleaker."

I strummed a few times.

"I wonder if I'll ever #fret a happy chord again."

The enemy starfighters swung toward us, their movements as precise & #refined as soldiers marching in unison.

We hit them like a bar room brawler's assault; chaotic, random, & overwhelming, with no hint of skill or strategy but with all the fury of threatened freedom.
