The Great Challenge - Week 33

Forgot to leave an update on The Great Challenge with Dean last week. So this post will cover two weeks.

Fun thing about the last two weeks: I've been doing workshops. Two weeks ago finished up the How To Write Pulphouse Stories workshop that I got from Dean as a perk for backing the Pulphouse Magazine on Kickstater. This week began the annual Anthology Workshop that WMG puts on. So both weeks I was writing stories for reasons other than The Great Challenge.

The stories still count, though. :)

So yes, I continue to be successful in the challenge. 33 Weeks - 33 Stories. I see no reason I will not continue to be successful all the way to 52...and beyond.
