This year’s selection is Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The idea of the contest is to start with the first line of Mr.Continue reading “The Planner Experiment: May Week 2”

The Planner Experiment: Fickle Spring
This week spring sprung, pounced really. We raced from snow to Seattle summer weather with speed that could induce spine-snapping whiplash. The cherry plum trees in my yard went from bare to full blossom in forty-eight hours. I woke up one morning and found myself instinctively picking things up and putting them away everywhere IContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: Fickle Spring”
The Planner Pages: Changing course
The Experiment This month is flying by and I have very few submissions to show for it. My main issue is trying to read enough of each journal to get a feel for it and then when I’ve spent so much time reading the journal, I decide I don’t have a story that fits. I’veContinue reading “The Planner Pages: Changing course”
The Planner Experiment: March Week Two
While I worked through the week’s pages, I came across an error. The dates for Pseudopod’s reading period are 3/15-3/31. The good news is we didn’t miss out. I will try to be more careful. I’m glad I have a story that I want to send to Pseudopod, so I noticed the error. I foundContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: March Week Two”

IContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: February Week Three Planner Pages”
The Planner Experiment: Micro-fiction
This planner project is already working for me. This week I received my second rejection. The sting only lasted a moment this time. The rejection letter even suggested that I submit something to their next reading period, so I’ll keep that in mind for my deadlines. I edited and submitted two other stories to differentContinue reading “The Planner Experiment: Micro-fiction”
