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! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Creative weekend, crafting a #shortstory for the #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction run by the #NotQuiteWrite Podcast. Here's the story I wrote for last January's competition, with help from my uncle in The Afterlife! โœ๏ธ

The Afterlife

It was a shock to learn the Bible bashers were right. There is life after death! I ended up here after watching footy on the TV.

I've submitted my January 2026 #shortstory for the #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction. With due respect to the #NotQuiteWrite Podcast hosts and prize judges, Team Ed or Team Amanda was less important to me than choosing the prompts for my story. And it's nice to have a choice! โœ๏ธ #writers #writing

Daisy's Big Day

Daisy was pacing back and forth in her childhood bedroom at her parents' house telling herself she should be looking forward to her big day.

Tada, I've submitted my story for the July's #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction run by the @notquitewrite.com podcast. And I still had 90 minutes before the midnight deadline! โŒ› #writers #writing #shortstories

The Subplot Character

The writer is about to delete me from her novel. I can feel her fingers twitching on the keyboard. It's happened before to my subplot characters.

Tall And True
Tada, I've submitted my latest entry for the #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction. Fingers crossed the #NotQuiteWritePodcast judges love the story as much as I did writing it! ๐Ÿคž #writers #writing #shortstories
