As my first big project to fill up the site with stories, and as usual to build my skill as a writer, I’ve decided to take on the classic 100 Themes Challenge. Originally created on DeviantART, although I haven’t been able to find who specifically created it, the challenge has proven to be popular over the years. Meant for artists of various sorts initially, it applies just as well to short stories, flash fiction, drabbles and other sorts of writing. In fact, I’ve heard of people using the list (or one of the alternates floating around) as an outline to make a novel out of. Loads of possibilities!
As for me, I’ll be working on the classic list, and my personal challenge is to write rough drafts for one of these a day during Camp NaNoWriMo in April 2016. I’ll be adding links to each of the completed stories as they are posted to the site, so you can track my progress as I go down the line.
