It’s summer, the time of goofing off, relaxing, and not keeping to any set schedule. I can use that excuse right?
I need more discipline. I should write more. I should exercise more. I should clean more.
Okay, only one of those things actually sounds like fun- writing. And yet…
In conversation with the June winner at Fiction in 50, he asked me why I don’t submit a piece each week. I used the 3 other blogs as an excuse, but truth is, I have time to write 50 words a week. I just need the discipline to do so.

Announcing the Fiction in 50 Contest
02
Jan
My microfiction site, Fiction in 50, is now running a monthly contest. I will pick weekly winners from the submissions, and then at the end of the month, readers will get to vote for their favorites in a poll. The poll will be open for one week. Monthly winners will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card.
It is not much of a prize, but I’m hoping that the contest nature, and the fact that there is a prize, will help draw more readers and writers to the site. Sometimes, you have to take risks in order to meet your goals.
New Year Goals
01
Jan
I rarely make New Year’s resolutions as they always seem like promises that you have permission to break. I did know one woman who made one made a resolution to give up chocolate. And she did, permanently. That will never be me.
But a new year is as good a time as any to evaluate my goals and make some changes. This year, I want to grow all three of my blogs. Here I need to maintain. On Life by Pets I need to get on a regular MWF schedule. Plus Fiction in 50 is turning in to a contest.
Shameless Self Promotion

On Tuesday, Nov 23, I hit 1000 views on this blog. It took 1 week short of 7 months to get there, but get there we did. To celebrate, I’m sharing my other blogs, Fiction in 50 and Life by Pets.
Fiction in 50 was started on October 7 and is already at over 500 views. It is dedicated to inspiring people to write at least one 50 word micro-fiction story a week.
Life by Pets was started on Dec 1. It’s a longer form for myself and others to share stories about the pets we love and live by.
