I am attempting to write 50,000 words of fiction in the month of November 2020, most likely in the form of 30 short stories averaging 1,667 words or more. I have done this once before.
These are first drafts, written at lightning speed, with no editing whatsoever. You're going to see plenty of really obvious errors and things which need fixing or rewriting. I see them too! The objective here is to force myself to get some vaguely original ideas out on paper. In December onwards, we'll see whether any of this is worth refining into a finished work.
I think this was a fairly productive month! Some of these first drafts turned out much better than others. Here are my subjective top picks, all single-chapter short stories:
As foreshadowed, I gave The Knowledge Cosmic a very light edit posted it to AO3.
The first draft Lena became a completed short story, also named Lena.
As for everything else... wait and see...
