#Furiousfiction submitted. A very busy week of writing but fun (and games) were had. See what I did there @whimsyfiction.bsky.social ?
I enjoyed writing some very different pieces this week for the two above and #TheBoobyPrize.

First time in for #theboobyprize. Loved having 7 days to write, even if I did end up wasting most of it and left the majority of writing for Sunday anyway. 😅

I have a first draft!
And it's good, too. Well, I think it's good. It definitely needs tweaking and editing though.

Very nice! I feel that these contests keep the creative mind limber enough for bigger projects, when the time comes. I'll be taking part in #TheBoobyPrize at the end of August, after I've (hopefully) completed the first draft of my WIP.

That was tricky 🤔 After not having so much as #WritersBlock but rather #BrainFreeze akin to downing 16 ice-creams on the trot (The Horror 😱💜❤️🤣) I've submitted my #500Word #FlashFiction to #TheBoobyPrize #WritingCompetition - I've taken a few risks with this but hopefully it lands well in judging 🙃😏😎
