100-words Flash Friday, Whoo-hooo! Go Fictioneers!

My 100 words appear to have very little to do with the prompt, but there’s an indirect relationship (even if evident only to me). The barbed wire reminded me bulls, which reminded me of some of the back-story of the main character in Symbiosis, Ki. In this scene she realizes that the man questioning her knows her very long history. For this snippet  to have the greatest meaning when you read it, it’ll help if you brush up a little on a sort of ritual from the ancient  Minoan culture .

Here’s how it works: My story is here (if the word ‘here’ and ‘comment’ isn’t highlighted or underlined in your browser to let you know… those words are links. Click either one to get to the story page, which is where all the action is taking place.)  When you comment, post a link to yours. Then comment and add your link to the other Fictioneer’s stories.

We have more members than ever before, so it is taking longer than Friday evening to get through them all. Sometimes it is taking me days! I start with the first commenters first and move down the list as quickly as I can. If the day job is hectic, it’ll take me longer.

And we’re off to write, link and read stories!

Tweet your link and add the #FridayFictioneers hashtag so we can easily find you and if you @madison_woods in your tweet, I’ll 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 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.
