What I’m writing now

Keep creativity flowing with short stories.

Welcome to my blog post.

Short Stories

I have heard that writers should write something every day. It doesn't matter what you write, just that you write. This helps with creativity. To keep my creativity flowing, I like to enter contests. Recently I entered two very different short story contests. The first was simple because I could write about anything. The second was more of a challenge because I was given a picture and a title for my story. Creatively speaking, I enjoyed the second contest more because it stretched me as a writer.

The sense of accomplishment the writer feels when a book is completed motivates the writer to write again. However, it takes time to write a book, for some it takes years. That delayed gratification can hold us back. My suggestion.....Short stories. When you need that extra something to move forward with your writing, short stories are a great way to see your accomplishments sooner. Seeing your work to completion, validates you as a writer.

If you have considered writing but fear has been holding you back, start with a short story. It may be the jump start you need. #short story #author #writing contests #creative writing
