‘That man becomes a beast when he puts that uniform on,’ replied Harry.

‘I am a sucker for a bad boy!’

‘Now let’s not get into that, Petal!’

Great photos this week at two of my favorite flash fiction prompt sites. (I like those with the froggy link, which makes reading the other entries so convenient.)  I didn't participate (yet) because I'm working on several long-ish projects simultaneously but... Continue Reading →

It’s that time of week again, and this week there are eight superb entries to take a look at, based on Chase Holfelder’s cover of Every Breath You Takego to the link for the song. Thanks everyone for taking part, I think that’s the most entries I’ve had the pleasure of reading in one week!

Sheldon Kleeman – FFF40 Every – in contrast to the other pieces, Sheldon wrote an upbeat and motivational piece which developed a fascinating take based off the song title

Curtis Bausse – Flash Fiction: Precious – twisting and turning, Curtis’ piece subverted traditional advice and emphasised the frail nature of human life

Monday Mead

I confess to a love for fermented drinks. Distilled products, my husband's cuppa, don't do it for me, but a warm, brown lager...yes, please. I'm partial to dry wines, mead, and a sucker for champagne. Not that I drink that... Continue Reading →

Wretched day.  Write a little.  Wipe the tears.  Edit that.  Wipe the tears again.  More writing.  Clean the tears from my glasses.  Put them on again.  Write some more.  Tears. Save.  Close the chapter away in its file. ...know another... Continue Reading →
