Poorly Written Stories
I have found that the more I write, the higher the expectations I have for myself.

This is a problem.

I sit and try to write Flash Fiction and I will only accept something that may stand a chance of winning. The result is that I write nothing. I sit there, uninspired and finally give up.

I have created a solution.

I made a new folder titled Poorly Written Stories.

This is where a poorly written story will go to die.

The idea is that I take away the fear of failure. I can commit to a story and if I end up not liking it, I have a place to put it.

Committing to a story is important. It's better to write poorly than to struggle for perfection and not write at all. This is my solution and I have high hopes.
