| Did you know Drabbles are no longer welcomed on Medium? My Daily Drabbles are now here on Blogger because Drabbles are no longer allowed on Medium - this link tells you what Medium changed and where you can go if you are a drabble writter looking for a platform that still allows Drabbles - there are not many - most platforms do NOT allow 100 word stories! Medium used to be the number one place for publishing drabbles and getting paid for tthem, but as of April 4, 2025 Medium has banned drabbles from distribution. Full details HERE | National Novel Writing Month / NaNoWriMo 2025 Update: I should hit 200k tomorrow! I just updated my word count and it says: 194,420/50,000 Average daily words 8,454 words That means I've only got 5,580 more words to reach 200k, which is less than my daily average, so I should reach it tomorrow!
