An Impetuous Retroactive New Years Resolution

I'm not really a goal-oriented person, preferring to base decisions on the fleeting moment's search for peace and inner harmony.  And I don't go in much for New Year's resolutions.  But I have decided that this year  I am going to be writing fiction.  And there is a saying, what gets measured gets done. 

So, I read with interest the writing challenge going on at Write One, Sub One.  Inspired by Ray Bradbury, the challenge is to write and submit a story every week for 2011.  I've signed up.

The thing is, I've never submitted anything for publication before.  Being a contract ghost writer, I  don't "submit", I don't even put pen to paper until the contract and stated price is in my cold, greedy hands.  And of course, there is the fact that my experience is not in writing stories per se.

So, it will probably take a while to ramp up and figure this thing out, particularly the submitting part.  So for now, my commitment is to write a story per week, and put it somewhere out there in public, which may just mean posting it on this blog.  It may be flash, or just a short short story.  We shall see.

If and when I figure out the markets for stories and the whole submitting process, I may venture forth more boldly.  Stay tuned!
