30 stories, 30 pubs, 30 days

Inspired by David Majister’s successful 30 day challenge, I’m pledging to submit 30 stories/articles to 30 different publications in 30 days. Just typing that is daunting, but I’ve already made up my mind and there’s no going back on it now!

Why am I doing this?

For the same reason that most people who take on this challenge do it, I expect. I want to get into the habit of writing regularly and push myself in the process.

Goals

Surpass 100 followers to be eligible to earn through Medium (currently at 57)

Broaden my horizons and branch out into more genres

Connect and network with new writers

Have 30 published stories in 30 days

The ultimate goal is to have fun, of course, while pushing myself to the outer edges of my comfort zone. I enjoy a challenge and aim to develop a pattern of consistency so that writing becomes a more regular thing.

Side note: I’m completely ignoring the fact that my uni work starts in a week. I’m good at prioritising.

Sadly I’ve found that there aren’t that many active publications accepting fiction writers, so this means I’ll likely be writing a few non-fiction articles along the way. This shouldn’t be a problem as I used to earn a little bit of extra cash writing web content and articles as a freelancer a few years ago, though I’m going to make my priority flash/microfiction across a range of genres.

If you know of any small/upcoming fiction pubs accepting new writers that I may not be aware of, please do let me know! I currently have a spreadsheet with a list of 20, but it would be great if I could make the full 30 fiction.

I’m going to be keeping track of my progression and will share a results post at the end of the 30 days to let everyone know how I did.

Day 1 is tomorrow. Let’s do this!
