Writing Prompt #3
Hello! Some folk and I were talking on my Facebook page about flash fiction, and how it is super fun but can be hard to get started.
So, to (hopefully) help your writing brain warm up, I’m going to put up a weekly writing prompt. There’s no pressure to share what you write, at all, but if you want to, please do pop a link in the comments!
This week:
- I throw some people into a drain
- JJ has taken it to some pretty dark places (multiple trigger warnings!)
- Erin Maree throws out some familiar feels
- Lisa shares some seriously sweet sentimentality
- Karen has some Winter Olympics politics

February 10, 2014 at 11:07 pmI accidentally wrote a story about ‘Six minutes’ rather than ‘You’ve got six minutes’. But it’s a writing prompt, right? It doesn’t have to be about exactly the thing? I could probably find a twisted way to get it directly on point, but I thought it was worth sharing regardless:
