One Day, One Story. One Special Word

Here's a little introduction to catch you up: I need to write more. I got this idea about how to do it.

I'll write a story a day, I thought.

Cue the blog funeral band, this one won't last too long.

But no! I was born under an ambitious sign. I was also born over a lazy one so we'll so how it works. But I'm going to try. There are worse blogs already in coffins. Mine will go down fighting into that plain pine box.

The conceit behind this blog is to take the Dictionary.com's Word of the Day and work it in to the story. The word can be the epicenter of the story, or simply be used off handedly. Whatever works. As long as the story is written. I'll spend one to two hours each evening writing the story. These will be short stories, usually less than 1500 words, and they will range from science ficton to not so sciencey fiction. I might do something about ancient Greece, maybe, I don't know. This is going to be unfiltered writing. Just trying to get stuff out onto the electronic page. Now that you know this story, I hope you enjoy what I've got.
