Thinking about Flash Fiction writers on Napowrimo, Day 27.
Flash: a quickly written,
smitten – writer on a mission -
short, short story,
flash fiction.
Get those fingers flashing,
brain dashing,
mind mashing,
pen writing,
brain fighting to
work a twist into
the tail – rail against
time – get it down,
get it down,
get down,
down.
Flash.

Hope to see you there.
Last Saturday saw the final of the Flash Fiction competition that was organised by writer Lindsay Stanberry-Flynn as part of the Worcestershire Literary Festival. The competition was judged by Lindsay and by Calum Kerr, the King of Flash Fiction himself! Calum had only recently completed National Flash Fiction Day and also a whole year of writing a Flash every day, you may have heard about it on BBC Radio.
Maybe those who didn’t enter this time would like to see the finalists’ work – there were nearly 100 entries from all over the UK and from further afield. A Worcestershire writer, Amy Rainbow, was the winner. Most of the flash writers were present on Saturday and read out their work, suffice it to say that Amy’s flash moved many people to tears. Take a look at the final flashes here – they’re a jolly good read. Plans are already being made to run the competition again in 2013.
