A New Year

Happy New Year!

So, 2021 was a great year for my writing because I published 2 we received collections of my flash fiction and short stories.

2022 brings a different, and much scarier, challenge. My aim for 2022 is to complete my first novel. I have been thinking and planning this for a long time and it's only when I sat down to write the synopsis that I realised how many gaps there are in the plot and how much more development it needs. I'm aiming to become more disciplined with my time dedicated to it.
My reading is also aimed at supporting my writing, in that I will be reading similar genres, themes and subject matter for research and inspiration.

My other challenge is to keep writing, which may sound a bit dumb but, planning and plotting isn't exactly writing for me. I'm going to continue with the short stories and flash fiction. My main goal is to publish one piece on my blog (https://www.writeronthestorm.wordpres...) each month and I have snappily titled it "Flash Fiction of the Month". I may write more but, one each month is my basic aim.

I hope you also have reading and writing goals for the year!
