The Happy Writer’s Check List

NSPC 2010 Online Writing Contest_17

Why are you happy?  Because you finished your story.  Now before you send it out into the world, go over this quick check list.

  1. Re-read the story for smoothness and clarity.
  2. If you are submitting the story to let’s say the Pittsburgh Flash Fiction Gazette, have you followed the submissions guidelines: alignment to the left and double space between paragraphs?
  3. Will the title of your story grab the attention of readers pressed for time?

Now your story is ready to go.

Well, spank my bottom and call me a nudist.  It’s the first day of August and the Old Soldier is up for some shoot from the hip blogging.  I’m sure there will be plenty to blog about on this hot, sunny day in Pittsburgh.  Keep reading and keep writing.
