Searching through the Aethernet that is an endless vacuum to me, I came across the 'Lester Dent Formula" for short story writing. This 'format', paired with Ray Bradbury's theory that all new writers should write one new short story every week for the first year of their writing. His theory is that after 52 weeks you will have 52 stories, and they can't all be bad.
Has anyone tried either of these theories, and what are everyone's thoughts on the use of 'formula'?
Understand that my reasoning to apply this theory into play is that if I use formula now, in the beginning, just to get the words out, then after the year has passed, I should be able to do this without thinking about it as well as get into the habit of writing everyday. Thoughts?
