I Love Telling People they are Winners :)

It's time for me to announce the winner of The Mighty Pen award. Yea! I love telling people they are winners! Well... actually I was supposed to announce it yesterday but did not get around to it :)

Summer Ross

I loved Summer's entry! She was able to capture an entire story in just one short blurb. And honestly - who doesn't have a sibling that wants them to disappear! Or that they want to disappear! If you don't know what I am talking about check out her entry. And don't forget to stop by her blog.

The Beginning

I felt it slip through my fingers...

Three Words #44

One of my favorite writing games is something I call three words. I post three words and encourage you to write a flash fiction piece containing those three words. If you would like to challenge me – post three words for me and next week I will post a piece of flash fiction using your words. Enjoy!

Three Words

• Blue
• Frame
• Loop

Flash Fiction

Using the three words: Red, Rug, and Vast(from last week.)

The ship sailed over the vast, red sea. The winds tore at the sails, the wood howled and groaned under the force of the storm...

"Josh! How many times have I told you! Don't play with you toys on my rug!"

Prompt Tuesday #45

Every Tuesday I post a writing prompt and my response. It gives me a chance to exercise my writing muscles outside of my WIP, and hopefully inspire you to write. So enjoy my flash fiction piece and post your own in the comments!

Prompt

Source: Build Creative Writing Ideas, #9

"Imagine a world in which many different alien races are acquainted with each other and all of them live on a giant space station together. What is your role on this station and how does the interaction go for you?"

Response

I stared at the pile of small white bundles that filled the center of the room. "How long as the second laundry been down?" I asked the tall slim girl standing next to me. Sali, I think her name was.

"Three days," Sali replied.

I bit my lip. The back log of work to be done was not bad considering the length of the down time.

"Alright, let's get to work. You start at that end and I'll start over here," I said.

"Should we sort by washing medium, or species?"

"Washing medium. There will be fewer piles."
