I did it 🙂 On February 18th, the day before my 40th b-day, I finished the last story for my 40 stories in the 40 weeks leading up to my 40th year of living. Felt really good to complete that goal for myself! The entire list of stories is below. The last story was an interesting one – and I will be revisiting it, perhaps to expand it into a much larger story than it is at the moment. All of this was a fun little project – and while my milestone b-day has officially passed, I am looking forward to the next forty stories that I write!
