And if your stories don’t sell, you can publish them yourself as a short story collection.
The short stories could become freelance submission if you can find the right market, or you could find a short story market every week and write and submit something suitable. īut writing a short story every week for a year while at the same time writing and publishing a novel every two months, is a brilliant challenge.
FAITHWRITERS WRITING CHALLENGE GENERATOR
I know some people struggle to get ideas for writing, but if you use a random word generator or find current short story markets to use as prompts, you’ll never be short of ideas.Īnd if you’re ever stuck for ideas, there’s also my Writer’s Block book that shows you how easy it is to come up with so many ideas that you’ll have idea-overload, which is a great “problem” to have. It doesn’t leave much if any time for marketing, but the more books you published the more you can earn and there’s always time to do some sort of marketing no matter how busy things get.
FAITHWRITERS WRITING CHALLENGE PLUS
Plus writing and publishing a novel every two months 30k+ words is 30 hours minimum of writing, plus outlining, proofing, formatting, cover-designing, getting ISBNs, and publishing, and you only have 8 weeks to do it and then you have to start all over again with the next book.īut 8 weeks gives you 6 weeks to write a novel, 5k words (5 hours) a week, and 2 more weeks to get it ready for publishing. It’s the doing it every week for a year that’s the challenge. But a short story of 2k to 15k words is between 2 hours and 15 hours of writing every week. I did the math and the whole thing is extremely do-able, although it would be quite a push to write a short story every week while writing a novel at the same time. These two challenges were for one year, and I thought how amazing it would be to have achieved 52 short stories written and 6 novels published in just one year. I’ve been writing quite a bit of fiction lately which is probably why these two caught my attention, plus I love a writing challenge. The second challenge was to write a novel (30k+ words minimum) and publish it, every two months. One was a challenge to write one short story every week, 2k to 15k words, and to send each one in by Sunday 11.59pm. The two that interested me were writing challenges, not courses. I didn’t want to sign up for them, but they got me thinking. I idly clicked through to see what was on offer and there were two that piqued my interest. I received an email recently about a half-price sale on a whole slew of writing courses.
