February 2, 2025, Flash Fiction February challenge prompt is "New".

As in, "There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns."

-Trickster, Octavia Butler

#flashficfeb

In honor of #Imbolc and #Brigid I am starting a new challenge today.

Flash Fiction February from Storytelling Collective.

28 days, 1 story, under 500 words, a day, prompts inspired by Octavia Butler.

Day 1 prompt -Rage

"When your rage is choking you, it is best to say nothing." -Fledgling

Didn't know this form was a thing, but perfect for getting back to regular practice again. Excited, nervous, omg can I do this???

It’s February, which means it’s time for the annual @storytellingcol #FlashFicFeb challenge! After I participated in 2020, an anthology was published on @drivethrufic

It’s not too late to join this year’s challenge: https://www.storytellingcollective.com/courses/flash-fiction-february-2024

#FlashFicFeb number 12 complete. A shade over 4K words. I've lost about 1/2 a day per day in terms of doing a story per day, mostly because I've overwritten by about 2K words on each piece. It's not that the stories aren't tight, I'm just writing complete stories here rather than the vignettes that you'd normally associate with #flashfiction. Also, creating the kind of creeping dread I want for #neverbury takes time and space.

It takes more space to show rather than tell.
