Yay. I just won an honorable mention for my little story "To Be or Not to Be Evil" in the Writers Weekly 24-Hour Short Story Contest. 24hourshortstorycontest.com/archive/fall20…


Spent 5 hours today co-writing a Dark Fantasy short story with my writing buddy. We are almost ready to submit. It was a lot of fun and interesting to see how we went about the process. Have you ever co-written anything? How was it? #writerslife #WritingCommunity
