STC: New Weekly Writing Challenge

I’m doing the 10-week “Save the Cat” (STC) writing challenge based on Blake Snyder’s book.

"Save the Cat!" Writing ChallengeThe STC writing challenge should be a fun one: 10 stories. 10 weeks. 10 different genres. The challenge has some flexibility, so here are the rules I will be following:

1 – Write a story a week for 10 weeks, corresponding to one of the 10 genre types. Order will not matter; no type can be repeated.

2 – I have to specify a story length to shoot for. I will say 5,000 words since I doubt I will be able to contain myself to the suggested 1,000-word flash fiction length. This may change after my first week’s efforts!

3 – Starting next week, I will publish my stories on this blog (and possibly other forums) by 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Wish me luck!
