Tonight we work shopped a novel opening and my new flash piece. Overall, the response to my piece was positive, which makes me feel pretty good about myself. But now I have to edit it and the suggestions I got were all over the place. O_o
One of my fellow group members rungs his own website and makes money with it. He suggested that I write 200+ more flash pieces and then put them up on the internet every weekday for a year for people with desk jobs to read while they're trapped at work.
I am terrified and intrigued by this idea. I have a feeling that he's much more computer savvy than I am, but I do have friends who could help me set up a website in the way he suggested, and I also have the capacity to learn new things. And I write a lot. Maybe I could do 260 flash pieces. That's not too many words, really, if I keep them to around 150 words. It'll be a challenge, but I like challenges. Really the scary thing is coming up with that many ideas.
The mailbox remains my enemy.
