Spring Into Writing
Emerging from winter is a special time. Nature is green all around. The wind is still fresh, but no longer frigid. There are so many reasons to go outside and enjoy it all.
Spring is also a great time to let your inner writing muse awaken. As spring is often thought of as a time of new beginnings, it lends itself perfectly for you to kick your writing habits up a notch. Short stories are a perfect way to get into writing more. More meaning more words, more frequently, with more passion. More all around.
Whether you want to dip your toe into the fresh spring with just a few words for "Invalid Item" or let it rip with a fresh waterfall of words to create whole new worlds in "The Science Fiction Short Story Contest" - there are always plenty of prompts, ideas, and reasons to write short stories here on Writing.Com.
Short stories are nice to write because you can get one under your belt in less than a day over in "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge" . If you need a few more words to get your ideas down, try out "The Writer's Cramp" with its daily prompt.
Don't forget the official Writing.Com contest that gives you a whole month to come up with something, ponder over it, get reviews, revise and polish it and finally submit it. Of course, before the deadline and with a wordcount up to 2000 words so that it doesn't get disqualified.
Already underway, but still open until the end of April, "Fantasy Firsts" allows you to create a longer short story up to 5000 words.
As you see, there are reasons to spring into writing all around you.
Does spring awakening make you feel like writing more or less? |

Replies to my last Short Stories newsletter "Right-Hand Man Trope" that asked Have you ever thought of making the second in command the main character?
s  wrote: I've found that the Right Hand Man often makes for a better narrator in a 1st person PoV story than the actual hero/leader. They can watch from a distance while also being involved, and the hero maintains that air of mystery about them. At least, that's the way I see it.

brom21 wrote: I have what may be considered a right-hand man of sorts in a whole novel I wrote. I say this because the role is filled by the co-tagonist-if I am spelling that right. He is the companion of the main character. I don't know if that counts. In another book I wrote, an evil warlord rules and speaks through an advisor who is eventually captured by the good guys. Thank you so much for the idea. Have a good week!
