Free time? What's That?

It's been a busy month.
December promises to be even busier.

So let's have some fun. Let's do some flash fiction this week.

If you're unfamiliar with flash fiction, think of it as a condensed short story. Shorter than short. The word count for flash fiction typically ranges from 100 to 2000 words.

We have two prompts for you to choose from this week...

Trapped.

or...

I truly enjoyed spending time with them. I just had to decide which of them I would kill.

And go!

Be sure to come back on Friday and link up.

Red Writing Hood - Promises and Resignation

It's been a while...we think it's time for another photo prompt!

This week, we'll use inspiration photos from Easy Street Prompts, a site that we mentioned in yesterday's post.

We'll do this just like last time we used photo prompts. if you're a fiction writer, use the photo as your inspiration. If you are in the mood for some non-fiction, write a piece based on a life experience that the photo brings to mind.

Here are your two photos to choose from (click on a title to see the photo):

Promises

Resigned

Your post needn't be a literal translation of the photo; you may find that it simply serves as a jumping off point.

Then, come back and link-up on Friday.

Red Writing Hood

One quick note before we get to it. Apparently you have to actually click on a post to comment or to read comments.

Now on to this week's prompts. That's right. I said prompts. Plural.

We're trying something new this week and giving you two choices. We are feeling crazy! Woohoo!

Ahem.

1. Describe your 80th birthday party.

2. If you could spend the afternoon with anyone who is no longer alive, who would it be and what would you do? (And yes, we mean someone who has died that you would want to spend a day with, not that you would spend the day with an actual dead person!)

Pick whichever you like. Combine them, if you want. You can also do it as fiction or non-fiction.

Also. let us know if you like having two choices or if we should just stick to one.
