Short Order: A Super Short Story Writing Challenge

The goal of this book it to finish it – by whatever means necessary

Within these pages, you will find one hundred writing objectives designed to force you out of your comfort zone and craft a super-short story to achieve them.

100 Writing Objectives

This book is a test: a test of your ability to creative-problem-solve. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to finish it by whatever means necessary.

The shorter the story is, the faster we reach the end. Rinse, repeat, and bam– suddenly got yourself a habit of finishing things. But super short work forces us to decide how something ends before we even start because the ending is literally on the next page.

Two Pages Of Usable Space

You heard that right: you get two pages to craft an entire story, start-to-freaking-finish. A literary sprint of sorts.

Why? The shorter the story is, the faster we reach the end. Rinse, repeat, and bam– you got yourself a habit of finishing things. 

Finish By Any Means Necessary

If meeting an objective means finding an alternate interpretation of said objective, so be it. Technique, structure, style, subject, genre, strategy- anything goes.

Knock one out while drinking your morning coffee or before bed as you’re winding down your day. Do one a day. Do three a day. Skip around for one that inspires. Get weird.
