I'm so excited to read this!

Holy cow. Right after they decided not to award winners in their fiction context ($27) and didn't refund the money! Just 10 finalists who got $100 each

Reminders! Reminders! General submissions (also multiple submissions) closing on Feb 15, reopening May 11. The SmokeLong Quarterly Award for Flash Fiction is open for entries now until May 10. Grand Prize: $2500! Paid Feedback submissions open, reading for the Sept issue. We're rooting for you.

Spent the day in Canada. Best way to while away my time during the yuckiness that is officially underway. #mapleleaf

Congratulations to the winners! I've read so many of these, and they are wonderful! I absolutely can't wait for the book to be available!

So excited that @merrickscaife.bsky.social made the short list in the Bath Novella in Flash contest! Fingers crossed for the big win!

Looking to generate writing for use at any length? Consider my 12-week Fiercely Flash class where you'll come up with beaucoup drafts and inspiration for longer work, too. Here's a helpful decision chart! #flashfiction #writingcommunity #amwriting More at: maxiejanefrazier.com/fiercely-flash

Just wondering if anyone else wrote a date this morning and proudly remembered it was 2024? Then realized there are only three weeks until we have to proudly remember it's 2025?

Ready to generate a lot of flash fiction and/or work on your longer works? I'm happily partnering with Writing Away Refuge again to offer a 12-week Fiercely Flash class! I hope you'll join our already growing new cohort! maxiejanefrazier.com/fiercely-flash

Foggy slumber.

Benny & Boxes. A series.

So, I got starter-pack FOMO and decided to make one for writing people who know stuff and pass it on through courses, workshops, newsletters etc. It includes all the savants who teach me stuff. I've probably missed people but these were the ones who sprung to my head. go.bsky.app/K7ftxtv

Sometimes it's Joon Bug & Boxes.

Thank you Switch a Microfiction Magazine for nominating "Harrowing" for the Best Microfiction 2025 anthology. I'm blown away and honored. www.switchonline.org/items/harrow... #flashfiction #microfiction

My memoir tells the story of my closeted adolescence through the lens of my obsession with horror, namely Michael Myers from HALLOWEEN. Also the death of my father and the murder of a classmate just a few months apart. Booklist: “Beautifully written, emotionally insightful, and highly evocative."

Who's had a #FlashFiction published in the last month or so? Please share links to your stories! I'd love to have some things to read. 🤓
