Friday Flash Fiction: The Librarian

Friday Flash FictionJanuary 12, 2018October 29, 2019

Once upon a time, I belonged to a Facebook group called Friday Flash Fics. Every week, we were given a photo as a writing prompt, with our flash fiction responses (500 words or less) to the photo posted every Friday. I'm no longer on Facebook, but the flash fic group was one of the few …

Friday Flash Fiction: Watch How I Soar

Friday Flash FictionJanuary 5, 2018January 7, 2018

Happy New Year! I hope everyone survived 2017 relatively unscathed. Me, I think my mantra for 2018 might take a page from Selina Kyle: "Four... five... still alive!" But anyway. It's Friday, and that means a flash fiction piece. As mentioned previously, I’m in a Facebook group called Friday Flash Fics. We’re given a photo as a …

Friday Flash Fiction: Santa Baby

Friday Flash FictionDecember 23, 2017January 7, 2018

As I've mentioned before, I’m in a Facebook group called Friday Flash Fics. We’re given a photo as a writing prompt, with our flash fiction responses (500 words or less) to the photo posted every Friday. And also again I'm late and over the word count. What was this week's photo prompt, you ask? Well, it's Santa …

Friday Flash Fiction: The Archer

Friday Flash FictionDecember 1, 2017January 7, 2018

As you may (or may not) recall, I've joined a Facebook group called Friday Flash Fics. We're given a photo as a writing prompt, with our flash fiction responses (500 words or less) to the photo posted every Friday. As soon as I saw this week's photo prompt, you can guess where my mind went: …

Friday Flash Fiction BONUS: Calendar Killer

Friday Flash FictionNovember 24, 2017January 7, 2018

Two—yes, two—posts in the same day. When I first joined the Friday Flash Fics group, I'd just missed the previous Friday photo prompt. But, it still got me thinking, so I went ahead and wrote a a flash fiction response. I mean, how could I not? (This is inspired in part by the flash piece …

Friday Flash Fiction: The Page Turner

Friday Flash FictionNovember 24, 2017January 7, 2018

As you'll recall, I've joined a Facebook group called Friday Flash Fics. We're given a photo as a writing prompt, with our fiction responses to the photo posted every Friday. So, this week's photo is quite... different from last week's. In fact, if you're under 18 this is probably where you should go somewhere else: …

Friday Flash Fiction: The Bookstall

Friday Flash FictionNovember 17, 2017January 7, 2018

God help me, I've joined a Facebook group. It's called Friday Flash Fics and presents a photo as a writing prompt, with responses to the photo posted every Friday. You know, because I haven't obligated myself to enough things already. But seriously, it's good exercise for me. I'm not great at flash fiction, so these …
