It’s so brilliant… or One really great way to write something every day

Looks like you're new here. Get all the fun of 52 Novels as it happens and subscribe by e-mail or subscribe using your favorite RSS feed reader. Might as well. Don't cost nothin.

There went I stumbling through the Internet just a little blind. When I opened my eyes I found Short Short Fiction by DBA Lehane.

He uses Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day as a prompt. He plops out 500 words… unedited… first draft goodness (or not-so-goodness by his own admission).

I won’t be stealing the blog idea. I am, however, shamelessly stealing the concept.

It’s amazing what you do when you’re bored! I got so bored I thought I’d google my name…and I found your blog entry covering my short short fiction concept here! Apologies for it taking 2 months and 3 weeks after you posted, but thanks all the same!

Don’t sweat it. Thanks for dropping by. BTW… even though you’ve stopped the Word-of-the-Day story, the idea is still brilliant!
