"... she drops a bomb on the fictional McElroy farmhouse. A necessary evil, they said. She strikes necessary from the page. It is too early for line edits, but evil is evil, she thinks..." Congrats to @erinbondo.com for this moving meta-fictional micro in @bathflashaward.bsky.social.🔥 #FlashFiction

"But she must give these screams to the present, for this is where her own grief keens, day after night after day" Always love pieces that lean into something slightly meta and use it to such great effect as this flash from @erinbondo.com does so well; a lot bubbling away beneath the surface here

Well this is pretty darn cool, Eloise takes 3rd place for the Bath Flash Fiction Award! 😍 I wrote the first draft the day after staying up until 5am-ish UK time watching the US election results roll in, so big shout out to existential dread for inspiring this one 🙌😅 Congrats to the other winners!!

"The orchard thrums with their varied pips and trills, with birds that’ve flocked here from all over. Loudest is the green woodpecker" There should be more stories about birds 🐦😃 - this one from @erinbondo.com is so clever; hints of something darker beneath the humorous, onomatopoeic facade

I'm so grateful that my slightly-better-than-expected health has allowed me to keep teaching my #WriteBeyondTheLightbulb courses. For anyone who'd like to write with me, the next one I've got scheduled is "Go With The Flow" in May: www.mattkendrick.co.uk/wbtl-go-with... 💡🌊⚓🌉🪡🧵✍️✍️✍️
