51 Stories in 51 Weeks: Introduction
Dear Internet,
Happy Monday chums! I have a new project starting on June 12 (my birthday) that I’m super excited about.
Called 51 Stories in 51 Weeks, I’ll be writing 51 stories that are exactly 51 words each week for 51 weeks as I turn 51 this year. As luck would have it, this year my birthday falls on Monday (and it was also a Monday the day I was born so I feel this is luck) so the stories will be posted on Monday!
What will I write about? Whose to say! I write a lot of micro-fiction (typical work under 100 words) across a variety of genres so it’ll be nice to write something for me and whatever I want and not have to worry about rejection because I am the publisher!
So, you may be asking: What is the publication schedule for this newsletter? Good question! It is as follows:
Sunday: Weekly issues of A Most Unreliable Narrator
Monday: 51 Stories in 51 Weeks (beginning June 12, 2023 to June 3, 2024)
Wednesday: The super infrequent Weekly Blotter Highlights
Also Wednesday: Lisa Rabey Writes Stuff which is its own separate list
I get it, two newsletters a week, especially within a day of each other, can seem like a lot but, the second issue has an expiration date and will only be 51 words sans the title. The subject line will be 51 Stories in 51 Weeks so you can totally filter those out if you wish!
The works will also be linked back to that newsletter issue from my writing website.
That’s the big idea and I cannot wait to see it come to fruition!
