Queer writer of weird things
I'm glad to say that I wasn't the only one who had fun with the prompt this month. Please also check out these writers' flash fiction pieces: Another One Bites the Dust by Iara Warriorfeather Not to Be Sniffed At by E H Timms My Old Man's the Dustman by Jeff Baker I hope I …
Well, this is a weird one. But I say that every time, don't I? I'm not sure I can explain exactly where in my imagination this one came from, apart from the requirements of the July Flash Fiction Draw prompt: a comedy, set in the trunk of a car, including a vacuum cleaner (which makes …

It's the first Monday of the month, which means it's time for the July Flash Fiction Draw writing prompt. And clearly I'm leaving it until the very last minute this time, aren't I? But better late than never, right? Besides, we're grown-ass adults and we can make our own rules. So if I say, for …
I love this part, getting to see the different stories people came up with from the same writing prompt. Only two this month, but maybe a horror prompt in the summertime is a tough genre ask? Regardless, I loved these, and I hope you do too: All Ticked Off, by E H Timms What We …

(And as always, if you want to skip the preamble, you can click here and go right to the good stuff.) Here's …

So... I'm running a little behind. I'm on deadline, you see, for a super awesome thing that I can't tell you about yet. That deadline is getting SUPER close now, and I'm... not done. So I spent a good part of the weekend working on that (when I wasn't procrastinating, which it turns out is …
It's May! That means the year is one-third over, and time's a-wasting. So let's get right to this month's Flash Fiction Draw. (If you want to skip the song and dance, click here to go right to the prompt.) If you're unfamiliar with this, here's the deal: I draw three cards from a deck of …
For April's Flash Fiction Draw, we have the following stories based on this prompt (action/adventure, set in a restaurant kitchen, including a stray sock). I'm always impressed how a single prompt can inspire such a diverse batch of stories in response. Taste Explosion, by E H Timms Raptors in the Kitchen, by Iara Warriorfeather The …
