Each month, Hellnotes runs a short fiction contest where writers respond to one of three story prompts with a 500-1000 word tale. Winner gets published online and $30. Losers (there’s probably a PC term that won’t offend people who don’t win, but it’s almost certainly longer than “losers”) end up with a 500-1000 word story to market elsewhere.
I’ve decided to try to write a story each month. I find writing to this length helps me look critically at each word and improves my editing skills. If a story is accepted, great! If not, I’ll publish it on my web page. (I use that word advisedly. By posting a story on a web page, I am exercising my first world publication rights.
The first story, from July, is available here.
