I'm excited about this! The last round I did was a few years back and it was amazing. As has been said before, Kathy Fish is a witch. There is no other other explanation as to how she magics the stories out of us 😍

I think literary flash occupies its own unique niche & takes a lot of time & practice to master. I really like the way @shelleyr-j.bsky.social outlines the heart of flash in this article.

Excited to announce that FlashFlood will open its doors on Sunday 20 April until Saturday 26 April. Flashes up to 300 words. Previously published accepted. Get writing, folks! More details here: www.nationalflashfictionday.co.uk/index.php/fl...

🚨2 WEEK WARNING🚨 A reminder that you have until midnight on the 31st January to get those submissions in. You MUST be born or living in the north of England (judged by the below map). Due to the unprecedented number we've had so far, we are unlikely to do a window in 2026!

I'm so grateful to all those working on this new, evidence-based, approach to chronic pain. It has been life-changing for me 😍 youtu.be/fpvPNDujUNI?...

Thanks so much @natflashfictionday.bsky.social for nominating 'This is a story about squirrels' for @bestmicrofiction.bsky.social It's a piece close to my heart, being about chronic pain and discovering the life changing practice of Pain Reprocessing Therapy. ❤️🐿️

Just booked this! Really looking forward to it 😍🐭

Love this story, the deft handling of time, the details!

I am re-reading Field Guide to Writing Flash Fiction, edited by Tara L. Masil and pubbed by @rosemetalpress.bsky.social, in preparation to propose a college course in flash, and I'm so very grateful it exists! rosemetalpress.com/books/the-ro...

A hugely enjoyable & thought-provoking conversation between 2 wonderful poets: the idea of poet as 'professional noticer', prose poetry being for daydreamers, no rules except 'does it work?' and compelling in-depth discussion of two cracking poems. Thanks @cwjoneschris.bsky.social & Dave Swann 😍📖
