Because books.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not yet. As disappointing as it was to get a rejection in my inbox this morning, I guess it's fair enough. I felt like I sent them flash fiction that they asked for, but looking at it after a few months, it seems that I sent them an *idea* instead. Sigh.

I still like the idea, but maybe fleshing out two women's motivations in under 1,000 words is truly a tall order or at least, I haven't mastered it.

Short fiction is tough. At least it is for me.
I wish I could work on some writing, but it just isn't in the cards right now.

I like short fiction, but that's because I'm lazy and put off writing anything substantial.
I miss the prompts and drabbles we used to do here.

We tried them again and no one came.

I know. I miss having prompts. Maybe if we called it flash fic, instead, with a 500 word limit? Or, post a bunch of prompts all at once and peck away at them over a month or so? It was a lot of fun when we had a lot of people doing it on a weekly basis, but I think a lot of those folks have either dropped off the board or quit writing.

I'm still here, still writing (praise be), but I do think a lot of the audience/participants are elsewhere.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just don't have the time or energy for drabbling. Wish I did, that was fun.

Or some combination where some prompts are reserved for drabble and others for flash fic.
I would participate. Selfishly. Writing in front of this talented group of writers forces me to be better.
