Flash Fiction

  • *This post was intended for yesterday, to go up when I got out of work, but a friend decided to have a shin-dig and so, alas, it is being posted today instead. You’ve got to love WordPress’s ability to save drafts for later! I have continued to “take it easy” a little bit lately by…

  • Welcome to March, everyone! Yesterday’s post had me talking a lot about being in a funk, suffering an overall lack of inspiration, but I have the whole day (and some Friday afternoon Zoup! to help me feel better. Plus? Only a five hour shift on a Saturday tomorrow. That’s virtually unheard of, and will revel…

  • Hello, dear readers! Let me tell you, I am half-tempted to just take a picture of the scene outside my window right now and use that as a fiction prompt because it is just beautiful! We got a few inches of heavy white snow overnight, and one of my favorite parts of having moving up…

  • So, my plans to get up very early this morning and start in on my much more dedicated writerly pursuits mentioned yesterday failed utterly when I slept in much too late, but I’m a big believer in the idea that if I sleep in, it’s because I needed the rest, and tomorrow is another day.…

  • “Those arms were thick as trunks, corded with veins and muscles, and Locke could only assume he was the woman’s body guard. That complicated matters if he got caught, so Locke would just have to make sure he did not get caught.” It’s a beautiful, bright (and hopefully warmer) Sunday, which means it’s time for…

  • Happy Friday, everyone! It’s time for another installment of a Flash Fiction Friday, a prompt to throw something together in about five minutes or so inspired by whatever picture I find at the top of the Five Minute Getaway page. One day, I might start mixing it up and doing something other than Five Minute…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    Ugh, what a weird week, guys. I’ve been in an unprecedented funk since Tuesday; I think I’m starting to come out of it, which is good, but there’s still a little bit of the bad feelings and lack of motivation lingering around. Last night ended with a spark of inspiration, and I hope it manages…

  • So, a flash fiction prompt didn’t go up yesterday because I’m a spaz and, while I completely knew it was Friday (Friday being my only day off this week), I completely forgot about the Triple F. I don’t see any reason why we can’t have Flash Fiction Friday on Saturday, though, especially since it’s just…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    Okay, everyone get out the party hats and the noisemakers, because it’s Friday! Whoo hoo! Fridays are excellent days because they are tending to be my day off, and it’s also the day I post a pretty picture and ask people to write crap about it. Also, there’s said to be a nice six-incher snow…

  • Flash Fiction Friday!

    At the moment, I’m deciding to keep the Flash Fiction Friday challenges. Fridays are usually a little low on creative juices for me, so it’s a good way to spark them up again, especially since I’ve been getting Fridays off lately (blissful!), and I’d love to get a lot of catch-up work on my RoW80…
