Flash Challenge

I just took part in a writer’s Flash Challenge over at Liberty Hall. I had 1 ½ hours to write and submit a 1000-word story based on a prompt. I’ve never written anything in that short a period of time, and I did not think I could do it. Yet, lo and behold, after 1 hour, 23 minutes, I had a story I’m now very proud of.

I experimented with a voice like I’ve never used, kind of an old lady from a small farming town. I submitted to meet the deadline, rather pleased with the story. After an hour or so I went back and spent more time editing, and now it’s something I really like. I’m going to have to start looking for a market to publish it in.

I think I’m going to make sure to catch more Flash Challenges in the future. This was loads of fun.
