365 Challenge Update, Week 2 with Changes

This entry is part 2 of 52 in the series 365 Challenge

365 pieces of poetry and fiction to prompts. Poetry, songs, colors, favorite lines, etc. I want to write original work, but knowing me, the occasional bit of fandomness will sneak in. This is more exciting to me than I can say for some reason, and I’m hoping you will all help me as I reach out to create an average of one piece a day.

So it's been a busy week, and from the beginning of the year, I've been writing about 2000 words a day because of the challenge. To me, that is a straight up success no matter where I end up falling on the completed pieces goal.

But on that, I've discovered that some pieces will grow beyond the length I intend for them. Yes, I'm looking at you, "Dowse and Bleed." Don't bother shrugging innocently. So we're adopting a new counting system.

1500 words or less: flash fiction = 1 piece
1500–7500 words: short story = 2 pieces
7500–17.5K words: novelette = 4 pieces
17500–40K words: novella = 7 pieces
40K+ words: novel = 10 pieces

Here's the new count. Only a week behind. Ah, well.

8/365 pieces. 2.2% done.

Notes:

This is a continuity born out of a bunch of other stories and prompts and ideas, with a huge push from my beta, but alas! This 365 challenge ficlet is finished first.

What if every thought could write reality?

Markus was afraid to open the books, even if by doing so he could save them.
