Today

I am writing on my book which take away from my Daily Flash Fiction. My deal with myself is 500 well written words on the book daily. After that, I can write all the flash fiction and dialogue that I want. I keep myself to 500 words a day max on the book for two reasons. First, I don't want to write myself dry. If I do that, I will come back the next day with nothing more to say. Secondly, I want to focus on quality. When I simply tell a story, the words flow out but the story is less interesting; it lacks "bite". If I pay closer attention, I can say the same thing with fewer, more impactful sentences.

I have been on WDC for just over six months now. My portfolio has 166 items in it and my items have been read a total of 6,588 times. This is amazing to me. I try to read as many items as I write although I admit I am a little behind on that particular goal.

I am off to Budapest next week for 2 weeks. Time to see the wife. I return to California in time for the high school wrestling season. I am an assistant coach and this will be my youngest son's first season. I hope he likes it.
