I sincerely hope my first attempt at Flash Fiction is not a ‘flash in the pan’. Being the eternal optimist I am going to aim for one of these mini-stories every week. A lot of my writing of any type is done on my train journeys. Perhaps I’ll set myself aside a particular day where my concentration is solely on a piece of flash fiction. If it hones my skills then all to the good.

New Year of Writing
As mentioned before, I don’t normally do ‘resolutions’ but I felt that with the early stages of this blog underway it was a good time to set down some targets for the year of writing ahead.
* Maintain this blog even if reduced to two or three entries a week.
* Completely rework my autobiography by end of the year.
* Achieve three more short stories in anthologies by end of year.
* Be paid for an article / feature by June.
* Win £500 in prize money by August.
* Investigate the publishing of my poetry (but not vanity publishing)
None of these are mind blowing strategies but it gives me something to come back to occasionally if I lack motivation.
