The Great Challenge – Week 11

Posted on Posted in Writing Challenges, Writing Progress Tagged with , , ,

More success! Finished story #11 in The Great Challenge with Dean Wesley Smith later than I would have liked. But I finished it. 11 weeks, 11 stories.

Flawless victory.

A fun thing about this particular story is it uses the same character and setting as story #3 – Naughty And Nice. So looks like I’m starting up a short story series again. Cool.

Here’s the tally of challenge stories so far.

  1. Red Orchid – Romance – 3,800 words
  2. Debts And Obligations – Fantasy – 14,200 words
  3. Naughty And Nice – Modern Fantasy – 4,800 words
  4. Popper’s – Mystery – 4,100 words
  5. The Case Of The Missing Rocker – SciFi/Mystery – 7,200 words
  6. Fences And Neighbors – Post-Apocalyptic – 4,800 words
  7. Give A Dog A Bone – Doggy Mystery – 3,200 words
  8. No Title Yet – Romance – 5,300 words
  9. Lost On Cordant Station – Science Fiction – 8,560 words
  10. Kicking The Anthill – Urban Fantasy/Adventure – 3,863 words
  11. VIP Treatment – Modern Fantasy – 6,012 words

That brings it to 65,946 words total for this challenge, and 114,598 words for the year over the span of 61.60 hours (1860.38 words/hr on average).

Now to get caught up on the podcast and get my release for the month of July squared away. And, of course, write the story for Week 12.

Fun, fun!

I’m participating in two promotions on Bookfunnel during the month of July. The first is a sales promotion. Glimmer Vale (Glimmer Vale Chronicles #1) and Passing In The Night will be discounted to $0.99 and available through the Clean Sci-fi And Fantasy Series Extravaganza, along with some 45 other titles.

And you can get my novella, The Necromancer’s Lair, and/or stories from 70 other writers, for free in the Mighty Men Of Fiction giveaway- if you agree to join our email newsletters. Pretty good deal, if you ask me.
