Well, I done wrote me a flash piece and sent it in – all done under two hours!
What’s wrong with me?
Note to all new writers:
Do not send in a piece prior to giving yourself some space to let the story rest.
I’m sure when I re-read the story in a day or two, the typos will shout out in neon colors. I’ll fix ’em and put the piece up once it’s rejected.
Ah, well. At least, I can say I’m writing and submitting! That’s good…right?

I think that’s excellent, Nila. Not to mention very brave. Sometimes you just HAVE to release a wild one to see what happens.
Good job.
Gives a whole new meaning to the word “flasher”… 😉
I know! That’s what I was thinking.
Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
When I do the flash fiction contests at SFF World, I usually take the “flash” part pretty literally and just throw out the first presentable draft I come up with. I like the challenge of limiting myself time-wise as well as on length.
Of course, I wouldn’t do that if I was submitting for publication. 🙂
Ha! Well…I did read it over about 20 times before I sent it in. Does that count?
The thing is I would forget to submit it if I didn’t submit it right then and there. The deadline is tomorrow and if I would have left it a day or two, come Thursday night I’d be – damn! i missed the deadline! Like Jaye said, I let a wild one loose.
Thanks for the encouragement. It’s for a local paper. We’ll see what they think…for a limit of 400 words there was a lot of blood in there…
