Join me in a challenge to write (or read) a story a week for 52 weeks.

Enjoy a quiet Sunday morning reading a story, or use one of the writing prompts below to craft a story of your own.

The Ray Bradbury Challenge

“Write a new short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.” – Ray Bradbury

This is the challenge issued by Ray Bradbury to new writers, as an alternative to writing a novel. There are no rules, no limitations as to genre, word count, or hours spent writing, and no obligation to publish. Just like NaNoWriMo, it’s a personal challenge, and its greatest rewards are personal too.

I strongly urge you to try it for yourself. You might enjoy the following writing prompts, or this list of 100 Story Ideas if you’re feeling stuck.

Good luck!
