Business Disaster Bot is drafted 💪 though I want to look at it with fresh eyes before submitting it.

The 250-word limit has lent it an unplanned, but pleasing air of ambiguity. It's also anti-capitalist ✊️

I've heard that some people feel exhilarated and get a bit of a buzz when they submit a story to a magazine. If you're one of them, you baffle me. I just sent something out and feel quite queasy 🤣

I now have five new stories written (since late last year). Two have already been accepted and three are submitted and waiting for a response.

It's been years since I've been able to put writing as a top priority again and I'm so glad I did 🥰🖊️📖

In other news, I think I've decided where to try submitting my best short story first (unless something better comes up between now and the deadline), but I feel like I should think of a better title for it than 'Ten-year-olds are F***ing Weird' 🫠🤔

I really need to find a competition/journal to submit my 'two ten-year-old girls write their own version of Misery on a computer in 1999' story. I genuinely believe it's the best short story I've written to date.

It's about how, when you're 10, you think you're so grown up, but in other ways are still silly and immature. You're aware of social difference and have gleaned some stuff about adult life from TV and the people around you, and you're trying to make sense of it.

Or it's just a fun story about two tweenage girls writing a story about a pop star and a girl from school that they hate. Stephen King's Misery meets Carolyn Steedman's The Tidy House.

First draft of my short story for Emotional Madness is done. It's weird, but good-weird. I think.

I might use day 14 for a local magazine I've been invited to contribute to, as I think it'll be difficult to find a competition to enter a set of troubleshooting Q&As into.

Wondering if the names I used in the draft (SELTA and Noel Skum) are too obvious/a liability though...

Day 1: Zombie MLM girlbosses 🧟‍♀️ it's festive because it's set at Christmas and they're trying to get you to buy/join their "team" trying to sell shonky soaps etc with names like "winter spice".

Flash Nano? Completed it, mate. This is what 28 days of short stories* looks like.

* I did days one and two in a different notebook
