12-Hour Stream... Bring it on!
Flash Fiction Live (FFL) is having its season-finale on 10 December 2022 via a 12-hour stream hosted by Chandra and I, with cohost from our friends who sign up for it.
|
If you were at our 12 our stream back in February, (link below), it will be similar. Three writing prompts, three games, a background bingo game, and all the fun that will be had.
|
|
FFL will be on a break from 10 December until 7 January. Don't worry. My narration videos will still be posted on Fridays.

What I've Done
|
Last month I wrote about the flash contest websites I partake in. This month, I got recognized for the fruit of my labors.
|
For NYC Midnights' Flash Fiction Challenge #1, I submitted "John v. Ember." I didn't place, but I was able to attempt Challenge #2 with "Microphone. Breaks. Silence." I placed 4th, but didn't have enough points to part take in Challenge #3.

Write-a-thon Fun
|
|
The World Wide Writeathon happened 21-23 October! Which is great, because I had flashes to catch up on.
|
|
With a full weekend of sprints, some I monitored myself, I had no reason not to do those flashes. So, thank you to all that participated in the WWW. You helped me write 3,584 words over 8 flashes and edit 1,355 words.

Links to the World Wide Writeathon Playlist are below. Look for me in Social Stream #3 (8am EST, Saturday, 22 Oct) and Productivity Stream #13 (6am EST, Sunday, 23 Oct)

Rough Imbalance
|
Hubby went on a well deserved week-long golf trip and my parents came to town for a visit, thankfully.
|
Both kids got sick, somehow on separate days. Then I got sick, but lost my voice in recovery, on my planned, lone, day-off that week. I didn't want to, but had to lean on my parents for school drop-off and cooking dinner, twice.
|
While that was happening, my poor puppy (Stitch) got an infected scratch/swollen eye and had two emergency vet visits.
|
|
Be kind to yourself when life happens and enjoy the pic of Lilo (R) and Stitch (L).
