## Summary

Fahrenheit 52 was a weekly writing challenge the author ran in 2022, in which a new short story was written each week and read aloud, with the author or a guest reading, and released as an episode in the Fahrenheit 52 podcast feed. The project opens with a quote from Ray Bradbury, who said that writing one short story a week for a year would produce 52 short stories, and that the writer could not produce 52 bad ones. The stated goal was to have fun and practice writing, which the author says it achieved.

"The best hygiene for beginning writers or intermediate writers is to write a hell of a lot of short stories. If you can write one short story a week—it doesn’t matter what the quality is to start, but at least you’re practicing, and at the end of the year you have 52 short stories, and I defy you to write 52 bad ones. Can’t be done. At the end of 30 weeks or 40 weeks or at the end of the year, all of a sudden a story will come that’s just wonderful." - Ray Bradbury

Fahrenheit 52 was a weekly writing challenge that I did in 2022. At the end of the week, I (or a guest!) read that week's story aloud and released it as an episode in the Fahrenheit 52 podcast feed. If audio's not your thing, you can subscribe to the blog RSS feed instead.

My goal for this project was to have fun and practice writing. And it worked! Thanks for checking it out!
