Sigh<br /><br />I intended to to StAD but ... I suck? I'm half considering picking up the challenge today, one week into it. Not b/c I'd "win" but b/c it means I might amaze myself with my own productivity.<br /><br />You've got me thinking about it. I hope that means you've inspired me ... I will return to tell you which it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382258703126540760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-43292674114726603002011-05-06T23:05:46.276-04:002011-05-06T23:05:46.276-04:00RELENTLESS MULTITASKING!

Curses.<br /><br />Wonderful progress. Even though you're a bit behind, three stories in three days is definitely something to be proud of! <br /><br />-MercedesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-46515393719636928632011-05-06T13:20:42.258-04:002011-05-06T13:20:42.258-04:00Kudos on doing the A Story A Day!

Unlike you though, I'm used to being able to write an entire short story in one sitting. Still, doing one a day??

Voting day today and yet another day off--bless 'em. <br /><br />I'm finding it really helps me to know what I'm supposed to be writing. I'm loving story-a-day.

I haven't written yet today- because I have that problem- I need my ideas stimulated and its not happening- I've looked at dozens of prompts even ones I come up with myself- and it just aint going. LOL <br /><br />However I am glad the challenge is going well for you- even if you tend to write on the longer side.Summer Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08122694893668693244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-3984472704689741902011-05-05T13:26:03.619-04:002011-05-05T13:26:03.619-04:00I'm the other way around.

Almost never more.Claudie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10726598163986994132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-84146333032630452542011-05-05T13:02:49.251-04:002011-05-05T13:02:49.251-04:00I may get around to writing today but as for now, ...I may get around to writing today but as for now, I'm just reading blogs and stuff.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.com
