Mondays are my day off -- I'm happy to post prompts on Monday, some for flash fic and some for drabbles (although I think drabbles work better for this board particularly). I miss writing them, too, although I'm never as good at it when I'm the one prompting!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

You know what? I will make an effort. Mondays could use some kind of structured break to think about not-work.

I'd be happy to knock out a few drabbles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd participate. I need a shove to get going on writing again.

I'll brainstorm prompts during work tomorrow.
If they're all related to butter, sugar, or bread, I plead not guilty.

I'm fine with that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm wordy. 100 is hard for me. 1K is easier. 500 is a good compromise.

I used to be killer at drabbles; these days I have trouble writing anything under 5k. I need practice at short.

I love the discipline of needing it to fit 100 words. Every story doesn't need to be told that way (or that short, obviously), but it helps me remember that every word counts and really think about which ones I want to use.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So if I am able to play, can I just confirm, drabbles are 100 words? And flash fic is 500 words? Hrm, I suspect 100 words will be a challenge for reasons Bev described. But I'd love a chance to write again. It's been hard.
