I actually set myself a challenge a while back - to write a flash fiction story every day for a year! I had it set up on Patreon while I was doing it - it was good to have the accountability.
It really made me think about set ups and things that I overuse when I write. Finished 365 flash fiction stories about two weeks behind schedule. 10/10 glad I did it. 11/10 would not do again.

I'm still of two minds about it. I did start compiling them, but then also realised that a (roughly) 365,000 word manuscript is a touch hefty... But I also don't know if I want to send them out individually. Quandary.

Hmm maybe separate into genres? Anyway I'm down to practice some through November if anyone else is! I think it definitely helps. I wrote a crime caper I would never have otherwise, due to this thread. I also wrote a horror piece for practice and guess what I got this round? Horror! Although I like my practice piece a whole lot more than the one I did for Round 2.

I'm in. I find it very helpful. You dread a genre, and then once you do it, you know you can do it again.

Yep, I'm in too. I need the practice! I think it will help me write for myself a little more. I'm ashamed to say this, but I think I have slipped into the habit of writing for the judges a little, because my writing has suddenly developed a flaw that wasn't there before, based on some feedback I've had in past NYCM contests. So I think I need to rediscover my voice a little!
Thanks for organising this little side project, by the way!

I am interested if you start any kind of group for feedback on this.

Ok, so.... Let's do this! I say for this first practice round we just pick a number at random and write to that group's prompts. We can het more organized next time. I am on my phone and not looking at the list currently. I pick #5 because that's my favorite number. ;)
We are starting a little late so how about we write and post our links here by Monday? Feedback can go here too unless y'all feel like we should do separate feedback thread? Alternatively, we could use restricted forum but might get lost there. Thoughts? (*scurries to see what group 5 prompts are) ** Fantasy / fishing boat / steak
