Flash Fiction Challenge

As if I wasn't already doing enough, I decided to join in Regan Leigh's flash fiction challenge. We got a prompt at midnight and had 90 minutes to write and post something. I worked my toe off in NaNo today - nearly catching up - almost to 42,000 - and it was really invigorating to write something that was totally outside of my novel.

The prompt was: DETOUR

So I just started writing and this is what happened - un-edited and done in about 75 minutes. Enjoy! And run over HERE to check out the other people that joined in on the challenge so you can read what they've written!

Update: I removed this for a couple of reasons, so if you happen to be stopping by a post this far back, well, go check out the other entries!

1 MORE DAY!

So I was SURE that I had put through Thursday as the deadline for the contest, but apparently I wrote Tuesday here. But I MEANT Thursday, so you have one more day to get those entries in so you can win one of these:
Isn't it adorable?

Okay, so I haven't finished the owls yet, but when they're assembled they'll look something like this:
So cute, right?!

So hurry up and write your flash fiction. The rules are all HERE

And if you haven't yet, leave a comment on Naomi's contest HERE and enter to win pillows!

All right. I will make every effort to get a Retail Wednesday post up later today. If I finish my homework. Blah.

So excited to judge all this flash fiction! Whee!

Zombie Luv Flash Fic Contest: Advantages

All right ... if you are cool like me, then you follow Mia Hayson's blog. And if you are super cool, then you also follow her Zombie blog. Trust me. If you want to survive the zombie apocalypse that is destined to come, then you NEED to be following her. I never thought about zombies much. Then Mia was talking about them only ALL of the time and I thought, this might be important. Then I read the most amazing zombie YA novel (Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry and yes, I have mentioned this book before and I will mention it again. I really liked it. A LOT) and so I've kind of had zombies on the brain.

Well, Mia posted some flash fic that she was doing for a zombie contest. It's being sponsored my Mari's Randomities and Flashes in the Dark.
So I thought I would check it out. I have never written anything even near this genre before. But it seemed like it would be fun and what did I have to lose anyway? (The contest is open until July 10th, so if you want to try your hand at it you have time.)

So here is my first ever ZOMBIE FICTION. I had SO much fun writing this and I think (hope) that comes through. enjoy!

I had to take this down for some reasons, so sorry if you're looking for it :)

I left the pretty pictures up for you! :D
