From the Couch to a Novel
Start of writing challenge of 31 100 word stories for the month of September 2024
I like all weedy 30 somethings who don't fit, I have tried to write a novel. When I have a story idea, the first few days are so vivid with characters and plots. Yet I put off putting pen to paper because there my idea crumbles.
But when I have wrote 150,000 words? My dissertation was only 20,000. I realise I am trying to run a marathon before I can run 5k. I thought I would never run, but next week I am running a half marathon. So I will write short and grow to the big challenge.

Go-Fever
I don’t regret what I said, but I do regret that I was powerless to do anything. That damned car should have never raced that day and maybe young Jack Hamilton would have got his hands on the world championship. Tragedy is not when we all say something is meant to be, it's when what should happen is cruelly taken away from us.
