You of all people can do it.
I've finished what will be my penultimate draft after an awesome critique from a forum member who made me realise my story wasn't as bad as I thought it was while making loads of suggestions that have improved my story. The problem is, I can't decide if my conclusion has made the story non-speculative...
Either way, I'll be in with 4 fresh stories in 36.

If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it. ~ H.G. Wells
If a person offend you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. ~ Mark Twain

I'm writing I'm learning and absorbing new tricks
They found their way out my 4 in 36
Results deserved for my literary bricks
But at least I accomplished 4 in 36

4 for 4 Done!

Got my 4th in last night. 4 for 4 with fresh stories all. Good work all!
I've submitted one of the stories which I plan to be the opening story in a novella. (collection of historical fiction stories with magical realism element.
I'm in.
I have two stories to revise, and three more will be written by March as part of a MA creative writing project at university. This kind of structure helps me to write with the pressure of a deadline(s). Much respect to those who create without such deadlines. I need to change how I do things in the future so that I don't need this pressure to perform.
