The End Of Microfiction
Posted by Will under reality
I’m throwing in the towel. I had planned on writing something/anything fictional every day for the rest of this year, but after two months, I’m done — at least on a once-every-24-hours basis. In the more immediate time frame, after a morning on the bike and an afternoon helping my baybee in the backyard, I sat down and basically… I got nothing. I could let fly some frivolity at the peril of the Quakzons of Planet Zarneg, but pffft.
I still hope to post my make believings, I just ain’t gonna do it every. single. day. Thanks for reading, be it one entry or all 61.

I have been so intimidated/inspired by your daily writings. Hats off to you! You already have a book draft ready to publish with what you have written so far. Great job Will. My hat is doffed and I’m bowing.

I have REALLY enjoyed the Microfiction experiment, and I hope you’ll continue writing/posting fiction in whatever form it takes on next.

You did good my friend. Even if you don’t write something every day that you post here, keep writing and start submitting stuff back into the magazines etc, I know you will get that fiction published regularly in no time at all.

Good for you to give yourself a break! But don’t give it up entirely. I like your stories.

I’m mildly disappointed to hear this, Will, but I can attest to the reality that trying to compose fresh fiction on a daily basis can lead to levels of burnout. Over at Carver’s Dog I gave myself a two day break and threw together some well-received personal posts instead.

I appreciate everyone’ support and Rodger, I’m disappointed to. I don’t usually undertake things unless I’m going to stick to them and see them through. But setting myself up to post something e-v-e-r-y day just proved too lofty an ambition.
I certainly will keep the gears turning and the fiction posts coming, but just throttled back some.

Good plan, Will.
