Living the Fictional Dream

Some members of my writing group have been having an exciting time of it this month. Stephanie has been inspired by her April Fool challenge, and she’s in the running to win the monthly prompt-writing contest (I’m facilitating this month). Talk about a great way to get your butt in the chair for some regular writing — challenge yourself to write a story every day for a month (and then actually follow through).

But, Stephanie has some serious competition from fellow writing group mate, Sandra, who blasted in out of nowhere to tie Stephanie for first place. They have until midnight tonight to break the tie, otherwise, the winner is the person with the highest word count.

Makes me happy to see all this writing. And hopefully we’ll see some short stories and flashes by both Stephanie and Sandra out in the world sometime soon. As the facilitator, I read all the prompts as they are submitted, and these girls have put out some quality writing this month. A few revisions, and they should have some great stuff.

Congrats, girls!
