Flash Fiction Fridays

Prompts for flash fiction

Flash fiction is one of my favorite forms of short stories in that it is usually less than 1000 words. When I hosted my writing club years ago we’d start each meeting with a prompt and free write for 20 minutes. I think it’s time to build in that same practice with my substack community.

I’ll be posting a prompt every Friday and you can choose to free write that day or throughout the week. The only rule about free writing is that you can’t self edit. You just keep writing for the full twenty minutes. Is it messy? Yes. Will there be grammatical errors? Yes, but you’re guaranteed to get some writing practice in and get those creative juices flowing and sometimes, sometimes you’ll get a story nugget you can build on.

I’ll be joining you on your quest and for my subscribers I’ll be posting my flash fiction on each prompt.
