Well, A Round of Words in 80 Days started on Monday, and today is the first check-in to see how I’m doing on my ROW80 Goals.
So how am I getting along? Rather well.
I have written two short stories of about 500 words each, one is in English and one in German. I will share them once I’ve typed them up, as I’ve written them by hand.
As for the blogging goals, It’s only been two days. I’ll be able to tell on Monday whether I stuck to my weekly target or not.
I’m still looking around for writing prompts and I’m just putting together a plotting kit with character and setting sheets.
I found some lovely templates, made by asmallbirdorganizes, on Etsy, and I will write about them in more detail in another post.
Until now I’ve written down what was on my mind, but I think this exercise might help me develop a story idea that I could potentially take past the short story stage and into the realms of novellas and novels.
Study. Read. Write. 
You’ve made excellent progress. I’m so impressed 🙂 I will look forward to hearing more about the short story.

Pinterest is an excellent place to look for writing prompts.

I know, I’m currently trying to organise my writing-related boards a bit. Once that’s done I might share them here 🙂

Hi Conny. I think it’s amazing that you can write in two languages. Congratulations on writing your short stories! 🙂 LHN

Thank you! Writing in two languages is nothing really special to me. German is my native language and I’ve been speaking English since I was about 8 years old, so I often switch back and forth. 🙂

Woot! Congrats on having written 2 short stories this week! Yesterday (or was it the day before?) I was seized once again by a sudden insanity and thought, “I should try to write a short story every day.” As if I don’t have enough works-in-progress already! Haha.
Looking forward to reading your flash fiction pieces! And I’m oohing & ahing over asmallbirdorganizes now. Uh-oh! ;*)
