I made a goal for myself for the coming 12 months and that is to submit at least 8-10 stories over the next year. I have a lot of stories that are close to being submittable, and I just need to focus on them and just get over my fear of submitting. So, when I heard about the Cast of Wonders flash contest (https://www.castofwonders.org) I just knew I had to do it. The word count limit was 500 and my story was 540 so I did some quick editing and made the submission. Now we wait… Exciting, and i hope that I can keep this up because I know it is what i want to do.
Special shout out to the Semi Sages who I met at the con in May. I have joined their discord and have really gotten a lot out of the group.
