First of all, the Fire House? Is that anything like the old Mine Shaft gay club in New York? (A pretty wild place in the 1970's from what I've heard.) 500 people? Impressive, in a way, but that's enough to fill all the seats in about five Amtrak coaches. Would you recognize them all if you passed them in the street now? Regarding your main question: a story a day would only be possible, I think, if they were very short, close to the 750 word minimum required here. Why would you even set a goal for like that for yourself? To write, say, 7,000 or 8,000 words usually takes me maybe three weeks if it really motivates me. More often if takes quite a bit more than that.
Not to rain on your parade, but I think this is a pretty unrealistic goal if you hope to develop a following. Writing isn't just putting words down on paper. It's arranging those words to paint pictures in the mind of the reader and that requires some thought about the fundamentals of creative writing like character selection and introduction, a believable plot, and an ending that makes sense. I do touch type about 120 words a minute and I can't write a story in a day no matter how short it is.
No real firehouse in many different California cities. Because I don't have to make it up as I go. Just relive what actually happened.
You seem to be referring to a number of different clubs or bars that you are using the same name for - for convenience? So you are sort of making that part up. That's okay if you wish to handle it that way.
I agree and when I submitted my stories I told the Approver to change the title or category if it fit better somewhere else. It's very easy to write if it's from your memory. I have changed the name and don't think any of them will have a problem with the story being out there.
I don't like bars. Never been to a sex club. I worked in the Fire Service for 38 years
Okay, then just write them and don't have any "disclaimer" at the top about the truthfulness or lack of same in the story. Just present it. The reason I gave my opinion about the difficulty of one story per day is that - I think - you'd be putting a lot of necessary pressure on yourself. But if you wish to give it a try, then go ahead. Let us know how it's going.
Being retired gives me a lot of time to write. I only know one way to write. Only as i remember it. On her days off my girlfriend will do most of the typing. We get away for 1 weekend a month for sex with other Bi couple and men.
Just put in the work. I have achieved everything in life i wanted to do. I have written for a couple different sites and have maybe 40 or so saved. I know at age 61 my memory isn't as sharp as it used to be. Are there no believers out there? If it needs changes,,,,, well Ill make them. You guys crack me up. A new couple shows up and all you want to do is beat them down. Man I heard this kinda stuff in third grade, Grow up. Encouragement would be the right thing to do here guys.
Not trying to throw water on your campfire. I'm just curious about the logistics of how you'll be able to do 365 stories a year and 366 stories in a leap year. It takes between two and three days for a story to go live. If it's an ordered set of stories with the same MCs, then there is a lot of potential for having them out of order. I'm asking questions, not making judgments.
You don't need our permission to do this. Start posting your stories and don't listen to what anyone else says.
I wasn't going to respond any further, but - you just got here, you asked for advice, we tried to give some, a few of the things you said were a bit off (like you were in the Fire Service after all) - so please don't complain about us on the first day.
I just send them in and they will get posted when they get posted. Good god guys. A 1,00 word story is nothing more than 2 cups of coffee in the morning.
Like I said earlier i wrote thousands of reports. and i retired as a fire captain. Were you guys picked on as kids. No back bone, disbelief what others say.
Just did 2 in the last 2 days. But I will make sure to contact you with my progress. LOL
