A trip to springtime Japan clashed with the April 2026 Not Quite Write Prize. I've submitted a story for every flash fiction competition run by the Not Quite Write Podcast since July 2023. But I couldn't dedicate a weekend to writing a 500-word story while holidaying in Japan with my family. So I wrote a haiku. 🌸

Argh! Entering dates for April's #NotQuiteWritePrize run by the #NotQuiteWrite podcast and I've realised I'll be holidaying in Japan during the competition weekend! May have to submit a haiku instead of a 500-word short story! 😬
