A Quick Story
When I first stepped back into the journey of taking my writing seriously, I had no idea where to start. A friend suggested I start small. Really small. As in flash fiction small. The challenge was a picture prompt and a story under 250 words. I, being me, decided to tell the stories in exactly 250 words. I found joy in my new flashes of fiction. It brought me refreshing challenges that really put my creativity (and my editing) to work! Now I share them with you.
