The picture is posted with my story on this page. I tried to come up with something western that I thought I might be able to work into a short story for Duke’s Frontier Tales, but the muse said ‘No’. She only wants me to write weird stuff. This one is a little internalization from Kali, the main character of Symbiosis. I’m not sure if I’ll use it in the book or not. It’s just part of my character’s psyche.
I’ve been using my flash as short story starters – have you been using yours to any end besides the fun we’re having on Fridays? I’m almost done with a short I started using the scenes I’d set in a combination of two prior flashes.
Now post a link to yours in the comment section of my story and add your link to the comments of the other Fictioneer’s stories. Tweet your link, too, and add the #FridayFictioneers hashtag so we can easily find you and RT.
I’m always open to constructive criticism if you see mistakes or ways to improve upon what I’ve done. This is a learning exercise for me. However, not everyone feels that way, so if you don’t see an invitation to critique on their post, don’t do it.
We are the Friday Fictioneers and we gather every Friday here to post a very short story. It’s a great way to showcase your voice, but to do it in 100 word is almost an extreme challenge. It forces you to choose strong verbs and concise phrases.
Hop on board and post one of yours or visit ours, or do both.
