I'm over at Tyrean Martinson's blog with my post - Five Reasons to Write Flash Fiction - so, in honor of that, I thought I'd try:
FIVE REASONS HERE
WHY YOU SHOULD GO OVER THERE
1) It's fun to travel.
2) A little procrastination before getting down to writing and work isn't going to hurt.
3) The tortoises are busy so nothing worthwhile is getting done around here anyway.
4) My reasons to write flash fiction might inspire you to give it a try.
5) Tyrean is a wonderful blogging buddy, who supports and encourages all of us.
Tyrean's Five Reasons series is so interesting and a lot of fun, and I was thrilled she asked me to be part of it. I hope you enjoy my post, and please go check out the others in the series so far.
#2 really spoke to me. I'm on my way :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! :)
DeleteLOL! I went over there first, actually, but I had to come pop in. My comments have been disappearing all over the place. Unfortunately. I loved the post!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you popped in over here, too! Glad you enjoyed the post. :)
DeleteWell you've convinced me, I'm heading over there now. :D
ReplyDeleteGood! :)
DeleteI'm always up for procrastination, and my favorite kind of travel involves not actually leaving the house.
ReplyDeleteLike Crystal, I've already been over to Tyrean's. It was an excellent post. Five great reasons to try one's hand at flash fiction. :)
You and me both, MJ. :)
DeleteThanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Funny!
ReplyDeleteAnd already visited.
Thanks, Alex!
DeleteLoved this, especially the part about the tortoises. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, we all know who really runs things around here.... :)
DeleteI should have adopted tortoises instead of a bossy cat and rowdy dog. Heading over to your guest post now...
ReplyDeleteWell, Mrs. L can be pretty bossy, and Larry is often rowdy...but I guess it's still not quite the same. :)
DeleteYou convinced me. I take a trip over to visit her blog right now.
ReplyDeleteShalom aleichem,
Patricia
I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI took the trip over! I was trying to write a 1500 word story yesterday (which is super short for me), but then I found out the deadline for the contest I'd hoped to enter it in had passed. Boo! I should finish it anyway. There's always another place for stories.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a safe trip back! :)
DeleteI would definitely finish that story. Even if you end up not subbing it somewhere else, consider it a great creative exercise.
Heading right over!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI like your five reasons! :) I'll go check out your post!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like the other five as well!
DeleteGreat post, Madeline! You've inspired me to give Flash Fiction another try.
ReplyDeleteExcellent, JH! Go for it!
Deletevini, vidi, scripsi !
ReplyDeletefantastic 5 post!
Thanks, Tara!
DeleteFlash fiction like poetry takes tons of effort to do it right. I enjoy reading both.
ReplyDeleteAnna from elements of emaginette
I recently read - and enjoyed! - one of Mary Oliver's poetry collections.
