Hi, Harvey! On Bradbury challenge, it is totally understandable what you wrote. That's exactly why I stopped the challenge for a while, at least until I write my short novels. I really tried to turn into a short story every week, it's my bad that sometimes I missed. It might take a while to restart the challenge, but I will eventually. Greetings!
I know when you jump back in you're trying to really BE in the challenge and write a story every week. No worries at all. I have one guy who writes a story every few months and sends it. Sigh.
Haha. I get why you would be snarky. I was exhausted after reading her author bio. :)
I want to do your Hemingway challenge but I may not meet the deadline.
Although having read two nonfiction books on Hemingway, visited his house at Key West, read two novels in high school and watched a movie based on his book, I don’t own any of his books. I will be going today to pick out the short story anthology you recommended or something else that strikes my fancy.
I have Memorial Day activities so attempting to squeeze it in while still working on other priorities makes me want to ask you for more time but the deadline definitely will force me to try. So letting you know this in advance in case you were toying with extending the deadline….please….pretty please.
Thanks, Manisha. I also personally recommend the novel For Whom the Bell Tolls. Sweet story, but that might just be my personal taste talking. You can't go wrong with The Complete Short Stories.
Sure, I'll think about extending the deadline. But the 31st is still 11 days away, so we'll see what happens. :-)

Harvey, you should absolutely submit an article to Writer's Digest. :) It would be interesting to see how upset (or not) those folks get.
Nah. Not worth the effort. I used to write articles for them and The Writer but that was a long time ago. :-)

Glad to hear you are getting to spend more time with these characters and maybe another novel. 😊
Me too. Just have to see what happens.
