I’ve now had three people tell me that my efforts (and successes) in editing my short stories, submitting them to journals, and getting them published have inspired them to get their own writing on the market. (I’ve written entries about this under my goal “publish a short story.”) That made me feel really good. This really is something I’d like to help more people with.
But I don’t think, with a goal like this, that you can really say you’ve “finished it,” so it’ll stay in this column.
