Here's to a speedy recovery, man.

I'm gonna need this story. 😏

Now you have my overactive imagination running 😲.

Why does she look so hot and badass simultaneously while just doing something so simple? Like she's a crime boss or something.

I was able to clear the noise in my head for 5 minutes to write 100 words. And I actually like those words. I love the challenge to try and tell a full story within 100 words. It ain’t easy for me.

I’ll take some donuts now, please.

This story was excellent!

My goals have evolved since 2020 when I joined. Initially, I wanted to feel out how people would respond to the three or so stories I already completed and shared here. Before that, those were shared amongst peers, but I had a craving for a bigger, anonymous audience.

I then wanted to gain a RR. First comp story I did surprised me with that achievement. Then I wanted to pen a series, but make it something with a sense of peril. Did that with How Did We Even Get Here? Like I literally thought, "What would publishing a series that has a TV feel like something on Showtime get over?" Yep.

Then I desired making a comp top ten, but doubted my abilities. Early 2022 resolved that.

I then wanted to see if more RRs were possible to prove the first wasn't a fluke. My first top ten resolved that too. Then last year, I was shocked to earn another two.

Since then, I wanted to publish another series, which happened this year. I thought about how much my writing would need to improve to earn an EP. Thought it impossible, then the last comp happened 😳.

I still have a lingering goal of attaining a Prolific badge, but that is on the backburner. My current goal is to have 16 stories finished and ready so that I can publish twice weekly for a 2 month period. This is why I won't be publishing single stories for a while unless they're comp entries. I figured releasing in batches rather than a single every few months would be more beneficial to me in the long run.

I am curious to how much more my goals will evolve.

EDIT: Almost forgot, another I had and still have is writing unhinged female characters. I love them in regular fiction - quite liked Gillian Flynn's representation of them in her books I've read, so wanted a go at them too. My Valentine comp story from last year is probably my favourite outing on that front.

Happens with me a lot with notifications of people's statuses.

Lovely.

Can't go wrong with Chloe.

Finished two unfinished drafts I started last year. Now thinking of an outline for another unfinished draft from last year. There will be a lot more of that in the coming months.

Also, I have to edit drafts that have been completed. All of this, with the aim to release a batch of stories, rather than one sporadically here and there. That will be reserved for comp stories for the coming months.

I'm in shock. Holy shi...

Wow, life has been sucky for a while, so this brought a big, broad smile to my face. A podium spot. This is surreal 😳.

Jason's story was so goddamn good. Broke my fucking heart, which is the show of fantastic storytelling.

A big shout out and congratulations to everyone in the top ten!!

My Dirty Talk Comp story was completed a few days ago and published. Good For Nothing is a tale of a young woman who makes questionable decisions for her own greater good.

Hope that you all enjoy!

Congratulations!
