Okay, so, I didn’t hit 30k words last month (which is fine) but the graph of my progress is kind of fun to look at.

Gonna go looking for a different way to track word count though, I think. My writeclub (which is what the above graph is from) is fine, but it’s like, the bare bones of word count tracking, and you need to set a goal to track the word count in the first place.

I already have the Get Your Words Out excel sheet from the challenge on Dreamwidth, but yeah, I’m just curious and like looking at stats.

The Biscuit Bandit in WRiTECLUB

I’ve returned from a short hiatus of editing stories to submit to contests for #shortstorysunday. The story below was one I submitted to the WRiTECLUB Contest last year. I’ve submitted 2 stories for this year’s competition, so be sure to click the link and watch the bouts to see 30 brave writers compete anonymously for the top prize. The winner is chosen by you, the readers who take time out of…

WRiTECLUB 2019

Hello!

I don’t often post writing on this blog, but I did want to share that @1221bookworm and I ate both participating in WRiTECLUB 2019 hosted by DL Hammon. Every weekday for the next 3 weeks, two 500 word stories will go head to head for your votes. Though I can’t tell you what I wrote about or what my pen name is, or even if my piece will make the cut of 189 entries, I can tell you that it’s a lot of fun, and features many great writers.

Here’s my submission from last year, it made the top 30. Though I lost my first bout, I was fortunate to have been brought back in the save round.

Cletus raised a hand in greeting as the P.T. Barnum cab rolled into the Poughkeepsie station, the end of the line for many commuter trains to New York City. Here, the trains would spend the night while Cletus and his team of train cleaners worked to ready them for the morning’s commute. Cletus waited for the train to come to a complete stop before driving his tug of cleaning supplies beside the tracks, murmuring greetings to the Mark Twain and the Connecticut Yankee as he passed.

Sometimes it worked out just right- the Washington Irving alongside the Ichabod Crane, the Henry Hudson pulling the Halfmoon. A particularly cohesive lineup was guaranteed to make all stops on schedule, require less maintenance, and ensure passengers a smoother ride.

Cletus boarded the first car behind the engine, smiling. Good old P.T. always did love being the ringleader. He also loved causing mischief, and today's particular mischief seemed to involve a spilled strawberry smoothie, a few hundred footprints, and the sticky finger-paintings of one resourceful young artist on the windows. Cletus got to work, keeping up a steady conversation with the cab.

In his nearly 30 years working for the railroad, Cletus had seen countless members of his crew come and go – some couldn’t handle the hard work and late hours, others used the position as a steppingstone to a long and successful career with the railroad. Cletus trained them all, wished them well when they moved up or moved on, and welcomed the newcomers, but he never accepted a promotion himself.

After finishing with the Barnum, he said his goodbyes and moved efficiently through the 6125 and the 6142 before boarding the Connecticut Yankee with a cheerful, "Hello, Hank!' It was good that the Connecticut Yankee was lined up in the middle of the train, Hank Morgan always had trouble keeping dates and times straight, and a train with Hank at the head was sure to arrive off-schedule. This bit of irony was surely not lost on the cab behind Hank, the Mark Twain.

Saying farewell to Hank and Mark, Cletus made his way through several more anonymous cabs and the Ichabod Crane, collecting the hats that always seemed to be left behind by Ichabod's riders.

He stopped for his first break when he reached the Eleanor Roosevelt- it wasn’t every day you got to dine with the First Lady to the World. Eleanor’s cab was always the cleanest, commuters instinctively responding to the presence of a great lady. Even so, Cletus had the feeling that she didn't mind sharing a meal with a lowly train cleaner.

And so it went - Writers, musicians, politicians, financiers, philanthropists and inventors - on and on until the sun rose over the Hudson River behind the station. In 30 years, Cletus had been offered many promotions, and turned down every one. Sure, many jobs could beat the hours, the pay, or the work, but there was no job in the world that could beat the company.

Thanks for reading! In case it was unclear, some train cars on the Metro North line are given the names of historical figures. This story came to after taking a train ride to NYC aboard the Eli Whitney.

Episode 4: Don’t leave me here

Episode 4 Season 2 Now playing Don’t leave? I mean, not now but like don’t leave me here. I know I dragged you here and it wasn’t your choice. We could’ve gone to that cafe round the corner and I could’ve tried to have fun… I might have ended up having real fun. I didn’t tell you the truth…They didn’t invite me here today, god knows I have been shitty to them at parties. I brought you here to…

First rule of Write Club is: You have to write, but not for long.

I've wanted to start this for ages so here I am taking the leap.

Write Club is a Twitch stream and community for writers short on time.

Writing is hard and lonely, and it's easy to feel like you're never doing enough. Let's help each other out.  

Maybe you’re trying to get some words in around your day/night job 

Maybe you have ADHD and prefer short focussed attention 

Maybe you’re struggling with executive dysfunction and just need to get started

Maybe you’re avoiding an unpleasant task and want to get it over with

Join me on a 10, 15 or 20 minute sprint and see if it works for you too.

I can’t believe I never actually posted this link here: WRiTECLUB hosted by DL Hammons over on his blog. Inspired by the movie "Fight Club", DL Hammons lets his readers choose the winners. 30 entries are chosen to complete in the preliminary round, with winners from each match up advancing until the final 2 are judged by a panel of authors. How are the winners of each round chosen? Reader votes. Starting April 15th, two entries will be posted every day. Voting stays up for a full week so you still have time to check out some of the previous rounds. Voters are asked to leave a few encouraging comments or constructive suggestions when voting.

It’s #ShortStorySunday, so I have a short story I wrote just about a year ago to participate in WRiTECLUB.
