I’ve been writing a poem a day in April, which has been great fun and I have been really surprised to discover that I can express myself well in that genre.

(And by ‘express myself well’ I mean that I am saying what I mean to say in a way that is pleasing to me. That’s different than saying that my poems are good. Some are good and some are ok. And both are grand by me at this point.)

I’m going to take a break from daily poetry though and do a story a day in May (along with Julie and the team at, you guessed it! Storyaday.org

Will I write a perfect publishable story every day in May?

I will not.

Will I write something vaguely resembling a story every day in May?

I certainly will.
