I did what I set out to do, even if I didn't do it quite as quickly as I intended. The "Once Upon A Time Project" was designed to force me to write the beginning of a story every single day for a year. I started on May 17, 2009. It's now February 12, 2015. While I didn't write on this blog every day, I did make it to 365, which I thought was pretty darn good. When I look back on my entries, I surprise myself by how much I have forgotten. According to the parameters I set, I didn't have to know where a story was going, and I usually didn't. There are some, though, that I kind of like, and I might mine my own blog for story ideas!
I would like to ask you (if there are any "you" reading this besides me) to comment on any story starters that sound intriguing--stories you would like to see continued. If there's anyone out there, please let me know.
I still firmly believe in nulla dies sine linea: never a day without a line. I do writing outside of this blog, but it's a good way to force myself to different places, so I think I will alter my purpose. To what, you ask?
Beauty pageant questions! Why not! Let's see how it goes.
While I won't hold my breath for them, I do look forward to seeing some comments!
Thank you for reading,
Karen
