That is quite an ambitious project. Best of luck with it. You can do it! :D

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. They don't need to be GOOD stories. ;-)

The purpose is to get me writing original stories.

[crookedspoon.livejournal.com]

Ah! You'll be a regular Bradbury ;)

That's very impressive. Good luck!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I've been trying to write more original work so this is my way of getting into an original fic headspace.

[kikimay]

WOW! That's very ambitious and cool! Good luck!!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Less ambitious than it sounds, I think. They don't have to be GOOD stories. ;-)

[hours-gone-by.livejournal.com]

I like that goal. You can do it!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thank you. *fingers crossed*

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

That's a heck of a goal!

Really? I'm writing each week for Taming the Muse already, and I can always combine the two if need be.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Ambitious, but it sounds neat!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The stories don't have to be that long, or good even. I'm thinking next year's challenge can be to take 12 of these stories (1 a month) and write a good version of them. ;-)

Kudos to you, and good luck!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[alba17.livejournal.com]

From Snowflake. This is a great list of prompts. Good luck!

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I found them either on Facebook or Tumblr.

I already have to many ongoings challenges and not enough time to write all my prompts but this set looks awesome. Good luck!

Thanks. It's being a bit tough this week. It's about two weeks into my roommie's broken foot and I'm getting really stressed.
