Story of the Week Project: What I Think I Learned

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009
Tags: ,

So that was that. For an entire year, from July 2008 to July 2009, I wrote a short story every week. Well, I posted a short story every week. A few of them were stories I’d written years ago and revised in order to post here as part of my little experiment in self torture. [...]

Story of the Week #52: Baker's Denouement

Sunday, July 19th, 2009
Tags: ,

This is it, the very last Story of the Week. And I’m breaking one of my main rules, which was that each story needed to be at least 250 words long; this one is only twenty-five words long. But, then, I’ve cheated a couple of times before, so I’m not going to fuss about it [...]

Story of the Week 51.5: Pushing Dogs (Part Three)

Thursday, July 16th, 2009
Tags: ,

I finished Thelma’s story, and wanted to get it up online quickly since I thought making part three of her story as the fifty-second story of the week would be cheating. So here’s Story of the Week number Fifty One and a Half. Story of the Week 52 has yet to be written. Enjoy.

Story of the Week #51: Pushing Dogs (Part Two)

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Not much introduction needed for this one, save to apologize for posting it four days late. The next — and final! — Story of the Week will be the conclusion of Thelma’s story, and will be posted on time next Monday morning.

The Next Story of the Week… Delayed Again

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009
Tags: ,

I’m afraid that I once again have to delay this week’s Story of the Week. Look for it first thing tomorrow, Wednesday, July 15.

The next Story of the Week

Sunday, July 12th, 2009
Tags: ,

Story of the Week Number 51, “Pushing Dogs (Part Two)”, is going to be late, I’m afraid. I’ve been in Seattle this past weekend and haven’t had a chance to finish the story. Look for it on Tuesday morning! Current Mood: awake

Story of the Week #50: Pushing Dogs (Part One)

Monday, July 6th, 2009
Tags: ,

This one started out as a sort of dare from my writers’ group. At our last meeting we participated in a “thousand ideas in an hour” exercise led by my friend Dale Emery. We did the exercise twice, once to produce a general story idea, and once because I’d mentioned I was coming up short [...]

Story of the Week #49: The Walls of Elsinore

Monday, June 29th, 2009
Tags: ,

It’s nearly 110 degrees here in Sacramento, which might help explain why my brain is working so slow. My brain works at optimum capacity when it’s about 70 degrees out. But at least the bulk of this story was written while I was in Monterey, where it was a bit cooler. I’m really not sure [...]

Story of the Week #48: Joseph Blaylock – A Fragment

Monday, June 22nd, 2009
Tags: ,

The novel I wrote for 2003′s National Novel Writing Month was called The Road to Gilead. It was a post-apocalyptic western featuring a caravan of travelers making their way from one end of post war America to the other, following the vision of their leader, Aleksandr Hope. One of the main characters, Joseph Blaylock, was [...]

Story of the Week #47: Little Fluffy Wiggletoes Conquers the World

Monday, June 15th, 2009
Tags: , ,

It’s coming down to the wire here; after this, there are only five more Stories of the Week to go, and believe me I’ll be glad to see the end of them. Not that I haven’t enjoyed the process, but there have certainly been times when I wanted to pass on one week, just because [...]
