I declare a thumb war challenge. 52 weeks of the year, 52 stories. I only barely won NaNoWriMo this year, and for an Overachiever (35k in 24 hours last year!) like me that just isn’t good enough. So this year, I have a new challenge. A new short story every week, for the whole year until its time to do NaNoWriMo again.

As with any challenge I set myself, I’ll keep the rules intentionally vaugue and let them develop over time. One story, per week, that’s all.

The theory here is nobody can write fifty two stories (which simultanously sounds like a lot and nothing at all! Only that many weeks in a year?!) and have all of them be terrible. It should also force me to work on my weakpoint, compelling characters, whilst allowing me to excercise my worldbuilding often.

Let’s see about proving that prior theory wrong! :p

EDIT 2021-04: Well that went well didn’t it!
