Tackling the 3/1/52 Challenge

A couple weeks ago, I learned via an article in Writer's Digest about Ray Bradbury's 3/1/52 challenge. As stated in the article, the challenge has two components:

read 3 short works every night (a poem, an essay, and a short story), AND
write 1 short story every week for 52 weeks.

I'm the type who ignores trendy challenges. But this one struck a chord. While a voracious reader, I've never been a pro Read more of this blog post »

I'm not a big fan of poetry, I read this because I'm doing the 3/1/52 challenge this year and I've enjoyed some of Oates' fiction. So please take my review with a grain of salt. All the poems in this volume were free verse. Some were the stereotypica ...more

Hey Eric, what an interesting last name, but I'm sure you've heard that before. Thanks for the add. If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, www.jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.
Thanks,
Jeannie
