What is ’300 Stories’? | 300 stories
Dieter Rogiers says:
" I should write more. That’s what I said to myself on the eve of my 35th birthday. This blog is my way to grab the bull by the horns. My aim? To produce a short story in 300 words or less practically each day for the next year.
"Some of the stories will be hardly more than a sentence. Some of them will be hell to whittle down to a mere 300 words. But that is the challenge I’m setting myself. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy these stories and you’re free to comment on them.
"A word of warning though: there will be some industrial language and graphic descriptions along the way. But that shouldn’t spoil your fun."

Tell us a little bit about yourself, who are you and what do you do outside of 300stories?
My name is Dieter Rogiers, I’m 35 years old and I live in Brussels. After dabbling for a while in screenwriting (not all that successfully alas) I now am part of the communications team of Belgium’s biggest political party. From an early age I devoured books and started writing my own stories. And that has proven to be a common thread throughout my life. Since putting my screenwriting career on the backburner my output has diminished considerably though I have published over a thousand online movie reviews over the past decade and a graphic novel of mine called Tunguska was published weekly in a big Flemish newsmagazine in 2010 and 2011.
What is 300stories all about?
I should write more. That’s what I said to myself on the eve of my 35th birthday. 300stories is my way to grab the bull by the horns. My aim? To produce a short story in 300 words or less practically each day for the next year. Some of the stories will be hardly more than a sentence. Some of them will be hell to whittle down to a mere 300 words. It won’t always be easy to keep up the pace and the quality of the stories. But that is the challenge I’m setting myself.

Blurb - Ellenor is a young girl who is about to discover a secret Realm - and the portal to this realm is hiding in her bedroom. The key to opening this enchanted World has been hidden in a console game called 'The Realm of the Purple Dragon'which had been bought by Ellenor at a car boot sale for 50 pence. Soon she will find the characters of her favourite game are all too real. Some will help her and some will try and stop her from finding the Dragon Amulet that would free the Realm from the dark hold of the evil tyrant - Vindalf, a wicked Wind Elf who answers to Loki. Thankfully the Rainbow Rune Master has some very special magical tools to help Ellenor in her quest, and the Little Purple Dragon is sure to help keep her on track. Welcome to the first book in the blue Rainbow Rune Series.
