One-Hour Flash: What’s It Good For?
If you follow my blog, you’ve probably heard me talk about writing one-hour flash fiction. It’s something I do every other week in a group writing exercise and friendly competition, and, I shit you not, it’s one of the “secrets” to my publishing success.… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash: What’s It Good For?”
One-Hour Flash – Blood Sport
Got another one-hour flash fiction for you folks. Again, this is another story I wrote in an hour based on a visual prompt. Many of these prompted one-hour stories go on to publication, and others, like this one, uh, don’t. So instead of letting… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash – Blood Sport”
One-Hour Flash – End of the Line
Hey, folks, here’s another bit of flash fiction from my vault of almosts, not quites, and something’s missings. Like a lot of these flash pieces, this one came about in a one-hour flash fiction writing exercise. Sometimes those exercises result in publishable fiction and… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash – End of the Line”
One-Hour Flash – The God in the Lake
Time to share another bit of flash fiction that didn’t quite make the grade. I haven’t done one of these in a while, so just as a reminder, this is a story that I wrote in one hour as part of a flash fiction… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash – The God in the Lake”

One-Hour Flash – Big Game
Here’s another installment of One-Hour Flash. Yep, another flash piece written in one hour that has been languishing on my hard drive for years. I’ve deemed all the stories in this series not quite good enough to submit (for various reasons), but there are… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash – Big Game”
One-Hour Flash: Kite Flyers
Hey, all, here’s another installment of one-hour flash. I’ve got a weird one for you this time. With these one-hour flash challenges, you get a prompt, usually a photo, and then you have sixty minutes to write something resembling a coherent story. Sometimes that… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash: Kite Flyers”
One-Hour Flash: Fairy Bad Behavior
Time for another one-hour flash story. If you’re unfamiliar with this series, these are 1,000-word stories I wrote in one hour for a writing contest/exercise. I’ve done a lot of these exercises, and sometimes those stories go on to bigger and better things, like… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash: Fairy Bad Behavior”
One-Hour Flash – The Mansquito Returns
Yeah, I know, a bunch of you are like, “Did he just misspell mosquito in the title of his blog post?” Nope. I typed MANsquito to introduce you to another piece of forgotten flash fiction. As with all the stories in this series, this… Continue Reading “One-Hour Flash – The Mansquito Returns”
