What's an unexpected success that came your way this year? Let's take a moment to celebrate!
I actually had a fair bit of unexpected success in 2017, some of which came in the short fiction space. I had all but given up writing short fiction until I spoke with Dylan Davis as part of episode three of the writescast, in which we discussed flash fiction and strategies for reaching publication.
After posting that episode, I thought I'd give flash fiction a try, and let the muse take me where it may where a couple of short stories were concerned. Well, only a handful of months later, I found myself earning my first credit: one of my flash fiction pieces was getting published! That piece was "Wool," which is available online through Five:2:One Magazine as part of their #thesideshow series.
Now it's your turn. Tell us about an unexpected success you experienced in 2017. What was it, and how did it affect your writing going forward?
Then, on Friday of this week, tune in for a new writescast episode all about setting goals and maximizing our takeaways from our success (and failures, too!).
