Feb - 1 story every day

Image
So the goal for February was: Write 1 story every day. Which I did. For about 19 days. Then I took my best story to my friend Sam- who publishes his own Zine... He marked it up, and gave me feedback like, "this part really worked for me"  and "i'm confused as to why he is back in the kitchen making another sandwich, I thought he already made the sandwich?!" This encounter made me stop writing every day. The wind was taken out of my creative sails.... I thought that I had written 19 masterpieces, and it turns my "best" story was pretty confusing...... "whats the timeline with this sandwich!?" So I pumped the brakes and only wrote a total of 22 stories in February... I'll end up writing 28 eventually, but I'll probably only share a few of them.... because honestly they're all not masterpieces!!!!! Here is a link to the first one that I'll share "Poor Peppy":  http://everydaycountslikecrazy....

February - Write a joke every day

Image
My goal for February was going to be write a joke every day, and it's already February 4th, so i tried coming up with 4 jokes to start things off ..... This is how that went: -looks around the room, "What's the deal with curtains..."   nothing.... "Cupholders are like little bowls of????"  .... "What's up with computers, they are so powerful and everywhere!" hilarious. Quickly realized that jokes hit me as I walk around my everyday life, and they don't just come when I call them...   New February Goal! write one story every day. This seems more doable.    I've got 28 stories to write, and I'm 4 stories behind... Let's hope my stories are as interesting as my jokes are funny! Every. Day. Counts. Like. Crazy.
