Woo Hoo!! I won!!

I haven't written too much in the last year, partly because I've been busy doing other things and partly because I haven't been too inspired. Well, at Faith Writers last week there was a link to a Flash Fiction Writing Challenge at a website called Wake Up Your Muse (which is exactly what I need!). The challenge is to take the sentence that they prompt you with and write a story under 400 words long.

On a whim, I wrote a story, looked it over a couple of times, and sent it in. I got an email yesterday that I'd won the challenge. What a fun surprise and a little encouragement to get back into the writing game. Here's the entry if you're interested in reading it. I'm already working on the next challenge, even if I can't win again.

Just had to share!

Congratulations. I tried writing for the same "flash fiction" but deleted it because I wasn't happy with it. Catrina Bradley wrote a pretty good story for it too. I hope to visit your blog more. I like what I've seen so far.
