I originally supposed I would be able to use material from my novel draft to develop a short story, but given what I'm writing it now seems unlikely. I have older drafts for short stories which I might be able to revise. I'll try using the workshop series posted on the myslexia website as prompts: https://mslexia.co.uk/…

I'll set it up as a goal!
