Submitted!
I like my story, but it's not everything I wanted it to be. Not a surprise, given that my head wasn't completely in the game.

It really is a challenge to write a story about tedium without making the story itself tedious.

Wow! I wrote over 1500 for this post-apocalyptic/romance short story today. With a limit of 2500, I ought to finish it tomorrow.
The beginning is rough, but I think I found my groove after the first few hundred words. Not bad for not writing prose for a few months!

Working on the NYC Midnight's #shortstorychallenge2025 which I, erm, should have started days ago.
This will be the fourth time I've killed my very annoying real-life building inspector via one of their contests.
#nycmidnight is cheaper than therapy. And way more fun.

I (somehow) made it to the second round of NYC Midnight's #ShortStoryChallenge2025 and have been tasked with writing a thriller, which is SO far outside my comfort zone. lololololsob. I am already bored by my own story, which does not bode well for the genre. 🫠

Stoked for NYC Midnight! It’s been a good while since I’ve even written a short story. I’ve been focused on longer form works for years now.
Looking forward to engaging (and stressing) with the community!
