Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #8 – Game Of Gnomes

About time, huh? Couldn’t agree more. Actually, this challenge (I can hardly call it this week’s challenge) has me thinking about possibly changing the format. I’m still not 100% on it, so keep tuned for the next round of restrictions which will go up on Monday and explain the change (if it happens). But I will […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #8

Yeah yeah yeah, I know. I have been super, super busy this week (keep an eye out for a few words on at least one of the things I did), so I haven’t had a chance to do this until now. So here are this week’s somewhat belated restrictions: Title: Game Of Gnomes Genre: Romantic Comedy Dialogue: “I can’t […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #7 – Two Miles Later

It’s here, finally, and it’s short. That’s all I have to say about that really. Title: Two Miles Later Genre: Thriller Dialogue: “911, what is your emergency?! Oh, it’s you …” Technical: You should write the story from the perspective of someone watching a camera feed and relaying instructions. Stay tuned for next week’s restrictions tomorrow. Hopefully this one […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #7

Is it just me or have the restrictions each week generally complemented each other quite well? Maybe it’s evidence that there is a secret psychic network that all people are connected to. Or maybe they’ll always complement each other because there’s a finite limit to the human imagination that means things will always connect on […]

Writing The Window Cleaner

First off, if you haven’t read The Window Cleaner, go now and do that. I’ll wait. As I said in the intro to The Window Cleaner, the story wrote itself. What I mean by that is a bit complicated, but I’ll try to explain. As a side note, I was also going to drone on about […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #6 – The Window Cleaner

What’s this? The new challenge story? On a Thursday? Yeah, how about that, huh? Well, I actually managed to not leave writing the story until the last minute this time (yay me). Plus it practically wrote itself, but I’ve a few things I want to say about writing it so I’m going to explain what I […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #6

Another day, another comment to regret later? After last week, I ain’t sayin’ nuthin’. Title: The Window Cleaner Genre: Romance Dialogue: “So you just let them get away with it? One rule for them and another for everyone else? Give me a break.” Technical: Every sentence has to have a number in it. Although I […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #5 – We Have Ways…

I’ve had a very busy week, and when I haven’t been busy, I’ve been preoccupied, so I’ve not had a whole lot of time for this week’s story. So when you read this week’s story, you might think it’s a cop out, but I prefer to think of it as a liberal interpretation of the […]

It’s Monday (possibly, depending when you’re reading this I guess) so that means a new round of the WFFC! Let’s see what’s in store today… Title: We have ways… Genre: Adventure Dialogue: “Stop! Where do you think you’re going with my doll?” Technical: The story must be written from the point of view of a […]

Weekly Flash Fiction Challenge #4 – Build, Goddammit! Build!

So this was a tricky one, considering the restrictions given, and it ended up being quite short. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. Build, Goddammit! Build! The first thing he will do is take you into a long, grey corridor lined with doors along each side, and lead you to the first […]
