Status of the 2018 Hundred Story Challenge
Here's how I'm doing with my 100 story challenge. I gave myself one year (2018) to come up with 100 short story ideas. Not necessarily to write them,
but if any seemed like they'd be fun, to have a go. If I think any of them turn out well, the plan is to submit them and see if anyone else thinks so too.
Update: 29th Dec 2018, I got to 100 ideas, with the last 2 generated from the winning entries of a twitter poll. I may update the cells of the table with the state of 2018 stories as I write and submit, or abandon, them.
The chart is colour coded for extra fun.
