In relation to the writers challenge that I mention in a previous blog, I seem to be making some progress, at least in relationship to submitting work to different open calls. I have written and sent off two flash fictions and two short stories. I am now working on another two short stories, which will be getting sent off asap. The first one has the theme of winged things, which could cover fairies, dragons and such like things.
The one that I am working on for that open call involves an angel who has been expelled from the heavenly host and is found by two children. The second has the theme of fairy tales. I still have to figure out what fairy tale I want to work with and retell.
As I have a list of open calls, which I am always adding to, I certainly have a lot to be working on. There are nine open calls that I will be sending work to over the next few months. Even though some of them have deadlines, some of them are open all year round. This will certainly give me something to work towards. Hopefully, at least one of my stories will get accepted for publication.
With any of my short stories that I send off this year and which aren't accepted for publication, I am planning on gathering them together and creating my own short story collection, which will be self-published.
