@natflashfictionday.bsky.social FlashFlood: 2026 FlashFlood: The Complete List #nffd2026

flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/2026/06/litt... I made into the Flood, this year! Thanks to poet @josehernandezdz.bsky.social for his generative prose poem zoom classes, where I’ve written prose poems (microfictions 😉) over time, recently published in at least half dozen literary journals

@natflashfictionday.bsky.social 2026 Micromadness, 100 word stories, from New Zealand and beyond. Find mine —“After the Hurricane”—here.

@natflashfictionday.bsky.social National flash fiction day! Fun. Starts tomorrow Saturday, micro stories from them, every few minutes.

hello! Enjoy National Flash Fiction Day New Zealand Micro Madness @natflashfictionday.bsky.social for some sparkling, 100 word beauties. Notice this fine piece by friend & talented writer @tom1walsh.bsky.social, “That Guru That You Do”.

The Cafe Irreal published my wild story about war & displaced persons, “We were hungry enough to eat a horse”. And I’m glad 😌! It’s a very dark world right now, & some of us are writing dark fiction early in the dark morning, to help us sort these clouds.

See my micro story, "This is the Street Where My Body Lives", in the fine @cincinnatireview.bsky.social Cincinnati Review. Themes of mind-body split, divorce, heartbreak, opposites attract, life-is-dull-without- sensuality, etc. I'm very jazzed 😃 about this one!

I have an energetic new short-short story published today in Fictive Dream Micro Mondays. It’s a delight to work with editor Laura Black! t.gifs.bsky.app/ZOO_9pW2b_wA...

chestnutreview.com/chip-houser-... Admiring this exquisitely paced, sensitive, heartbreaking 💔 prose by Chip Houser @ChestnutReview.com

Still chiseling miniatures, learning more about beginning-middle-end. @100wordstory.bsky.social accepted another of mine, titled, “Past midnight, the chicken falls on her from above.” Than you to them!

Thank you, @fictivedream.bsky.social , for accepting my micro story, “We moved to the country for the quiet, but”. It’s a pleasure to work with this fine lit magazine and their editor Laura.

Thank you, @fictivedream.bsky.social for accepting my microstory, “We Moved to the Country for the Quiet, But”. It’s a pleasure to work with that little magazine & their editor Laura.

Wowed by this highly inventive story by @emilyrinkema.bsky.social , @ Flight lit magazine. “We’ve only used this once, when Mom showed up at my apartment with a bottle of bottom shelf gin and a male hooker named Jeff….” Loving speculative layer + sister layer.

No Kings event this past weekend in Austin Texas was hopeful, inspiring, upbeat.

The Fence is Always Hungry yourimpossiblevoice.com/the-fence-is-a… via Your Impossible Voice Journal. Innovative dystopian fiction, by talented, imaginative Claudia Monperre: “We feed it raw chicken three times a day, but it is never enough. The fence is always changing.” WOW!

My 100-worder landed in the pinnacle of 100-worders, @100wordstory.bsky.social! Happily tucked in there! Thank you. 😊

timberjournal.org/archive/100th-… My prose poem “100th Birthday Party” 🥳 is live @ TimberJournal winter 2026 issue. Thank you 😊 Timber! & Thank You 🙏🏽 to @josehernandezdz.bsky.social for his generative prose poem workshops, where I’m writing, then publishing some quirky pieces!

Happy that Wensum Lit in the UK published some of my very southern fiction, “Bernhardt the Therapy Dog”. Thank you, Wensum!

It’s all over now.

The literary Journal JMWW accepted my flash fiction, “New Dad”. Thank you. And can’t wait 😝 to see it all dressed up, performing in print.

In-person, w my writing-buddy & friend, Kelli Short Borges, who is visiting & hiking & taco-ing w me this day in my hometown of Austin Texas. Such a talented editor and writer! And a warm wise woman with big ears and big smarts. What would we do w/o our writer friends?

New Halloween story of mine, “To Ms Death”, rests here, in @tangledlockslit.bsky.social Journal. I’m grateful to editor TeresaBerkowitz! tangledlocksjournal.com/2025/10/30/t...

Thanks to Thin Skin Jrnl, my dark humor abt parenting , “My Growing Boy”, sits in these pages;”:https://thin-skin.com/flash-fiction/my-growing-boy/

Epater Lit, p 29, my story “Maybelle in the Middle”. static1.squarespace.com/static/657a6...

Thank you, Epater Lit magazine, for publishing my story, “Maybelle in the Middle”. Nice to see it on white-on-black background! I wrote this story to help me process the death of a best friend five years ago.

No Kings March, Austin Texas. Such good energy!

www.theunjournals.com/unbroken47 Check out my funny prose poem, “The Bad Doctor” in the fine Unbroken Jrnl. Thank you, editors Dale Wisely & Ken Chau. And Thanks again, @josehernandezdz.bsky.social for his generative workshop that prodded this poem to life!

My prose poem, “The Bad Doctor” was accepted by Unbroken, & I’m so tickled. Thanks to generative prose poem workshops with ‪@josehernandezdz.bsky.social. Love his laid back presence and the class readings and prompts.

Happy Anniversary to me and this guy. 33 years of luck, love, picnics, and adventures.

Old and new friends @nbrogdonwrites.bsky.social @chiphouser.bsky.social @tom1walsh.bsky.social at the amazing retreat in the Rockies led by @kathyfish.bsky.social and Nancy Stohlman. Great combo of playing, going deep, and going weird with our writing. Beautiful bonding with everyone.

I took another of @kathyfish.bsky.social enriching 90 mins classes yesterday—fr 3-in-90 flash fic classes—good price point, when u sign up for packet of 3—on creative revision ideas. Surprising, fresh, do-able, write-in-class and leave inspired! I recommend highly!
