100-words #FlashFriday Whoo-hooo! Go #Fictioneers!


The picture is posted with my story on this page. 

Whoops. Sent out my post with the last story’s description. This time mine is short about 40 words.

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. A lot of people just want and need encouragement!

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.

Another review of the Cthulhurotica anthology, and a mention of my story too


If you were curious what my story was about… Just found this summary at:

RISE REVIEWS  written by HARRY MARKOV  FEBRUARY 14, 2011

http://risereviews.com/2011/02/14/cthulhurotica/

“Milleu from the story “Daddy’s Girl” by Madison Woods has inhuman heritage and trains tentacled creatures to perform sexual services.”

It’s a great review of the anthology edited by Carrie Cuinn. She’s doing another one next year and I’m sure it’ll be just as interesting. I’m excited to have been invited to contribute again, so I hope I can come up with another story she likes.
