I’ve been running this website since 2008. (I also draw the pictures) If any writers want to submit, feel free! Or if you can share to others, that would be less lovely too.
Can you write a story in 75 words? EXACTLY 75 words? Paragraph Planet publishes one piece of #flashfiction every day (and has done since 2008). Get involved! paragraphplanet.com/submission.php #writingcommunity

There was a man called #djedspence
Who plays on the wing not the fence
That thing for his jaw
He doesnt need any more
Meanwhile, i’m feeling quite tense

Today’s harvest. Some spring onions (yes i know it’s late June, shoot me). Smaller potatoes are there to make the other potatoes look bigger.

A long time ago, in what seems a galaxy far, far away (early #parenthood) i wrote a piece about my then 4-year old talking about #starwars. It led to being asked to write over 200 Distracted Dad columns for a #brighton magazine www.richardhearn.co.uk/star_wars_ma... #maythefourth #starwarsday
