Today I received an email from a new resource I recently subscribed to called Authors Publish Magazine. The purpose I intend is to get lists of publishers currently accepting submissions, both online and print.

As it is in the Internet Age, my initial clicking led to more clicking and far afield from what Authors Publish Magazine intended. I always follow where I’m taken. Sometimes I like the trip, sometimes I don’t, but I always learn something new and that’s my lifetime goal; Learn Something New Every Day.*************

This morning’s offering was all about Flash Fiction, from A to Zed. The course offered was way too expensive for an unknown resource, but eventually, I made my way back to Medium, where I found a new writer mentor. His name is August Birch and he seems to know everything. Don’t be fooled, I tell myself. Nobody knows everything, but every bit I can take in that might help me be a better writer is helpful.

Recently I’ve been beating myself up because I don’t write every day. I suppose we all do that. Anyway, he wrote a helpful article recounting how he made writing a habit. I found it helpful and it may help you as well.

************As far as I know, I adopted this goal before I ever heard of Roy Peter Clark and Murder Your Darlings. He links his goal only to “writing” while I assign mine to apply to all of my life.
