Hey, guys! I host a flash fiction prompt contest on Instagram and more recently Facebook, and I would love for you guys to participate. It’s super simple. The contest lasts six days–two days for each prompt. So, the prompt I posted today will be live today and tomorrow until midnight CST. Then I’ll post a new one on Sunday that will last for two days (and a new one on Tuesday that will last for two days). Some prompts are picture prompts; others are writing prompts. (Today’s prompt is a picture prompt.) You write a story in one hundred words or less based on the prompt and post it in the comments. Then, my judge (in this case Shaina Merrick) and I announce the winners in our Instagram and Facebook stories, and I post the entries on my blog on the final day (which in this case is the 17th). This particular contest is desert-themed because it’s celebrating my Arabic fantasy short story winning second place in the SE short story contest.
Here is the link to my first Instagram prompt: https://www.instagram.com/cassandrahammwrites/
Here is the link to my Facebook author page (Cassandra Hamm, Author), and you can see the prompt on the page (I unfortunately can’t copy the link to the post itself): https://www.facebook.com/Cassandra-Hamm-Author-115520833174106/?eid=ARB6r85-XY6AHqsapX9oeeZRMUnssAyCmUWXld6NeyziIk-DhnG50xzuVphQWyub6-cT_ClYD9bQZPbx

www.jennaterese.com@cassandraia thanks for thinking of me! Unfortunately I absolutely stink at flash fiction. 😛 I’ll keep this in mind for if I ever want to improve though. 😉
INFP-A. If you can't be brilliant, odd will do.
@kate ahhh, gotcha. XD well, the only way to improve is to try. 😉 I remember my first real attempt at a flash fic piece for a contest a year ago . . . It sucked. XD I crammed way too much into the story. But now, after doing short stories for a year and trying more flash fiction, it’s become more natural, enjoyable, something I want others to try too. So I encourage you to try. 😉

@kate you’re welcome. Sounds good. 😉
