My short story didn't get showcased or longlisted for the #AustralianWritersCentre's June 2023 #FuriousFiction #writing challenge. But I still enjoyed writing it, and I've shared the story on the Tall And True writers' website. Hope you enjoy reading it, too! 😴🚀

Can I say a big THANKS, #AustralianWritersCentre, for #FuriousFiction June? Whether it's showcased, longlisted or not, I loved conceiving, writing and editing my #ShortStory for this month's challenge. Yes, even editing it!❤️

#Writers #Writing #ShortStories

Tada, tada! I've entered my #ShortStory for the #AustralianWritersCentre's May #FuriousFiction, with a last-minute edit of one word before I clicked Submit! 🙄

I could submit my #FuriousFiction entry for the #AustralianWritersCentre's May challenge. But I'll hold off until after I've taken my dog for a walk and had a final proofread. Hope you're having similar success with your short stories! 🤞

Tada, I've just written my first draft for this weekend's #FuriousFiction run by the #AustralianWritersCentre! Of course, it needs an edit (as always!). But when I wrote the last sentence, I felt that tingle up my spine that tells me I have my #ShortStory! :😊:

Tada, my umpteenth (I've lost count, and it's too late at night to work it out!) consecutive entry to the #AustralianWritersCentre's #FuriousFiction writing challenge since April 2020, is submitted. And despite having very little time to write it due to DIY-dad duties this weekend, I LOVED this story! :Red heart:

Woohoo, I've just checked the #AustralianWritersCentre website, and the next #FuriousFiction challenge goes live this Friday, 7 April 2023, at 5 PM.

I have fond memories of my first #ShortStory entry from April 2020, A Song on the Radio. ❤️📻

Decisions was my entry for the #AustralianWritersCentre's March #FuriousFiction. It wasn't selected for their website showcase or long-listed, but I enjoyed writing this short story. And hope you enjoy reading it, too! 🙂

I've taken part in every #FuriousFiction run by the #AustralianWritersCentre since April 2020. My status update for this month's #ShortStory challenge is:

I've written the first draft, ticking off all the criteria. But it needs tightening up, and I've got to work on the ending. And that's tomorrow's task, with proofreading and editing!

Are you writing a Furious Fiction story, too? If so, how's it going? ✍️

Tada! Despite a weekend of lunch dates and hikes to watch my son highlining (and drinks afterwards to calm my nerves!), I wrote and submitted an entry for #FuriousFiction. THANK YOU, #AustralianWritersCentre, for inspiring me once again! 🙏

#FuriousFiction timeline memories from 2020 and 2021. And what am I #writing this weekend? That's right, another #AustralianWritersCentre #ShortStory! 😁

Okay, I've got my opening 12-word sentence for the #AustralianWritersCentre's #FuriousFiction and 5 words ending in "ICE": "Nice", "Sacrifice", "Price", "Advice" and "Police". And my story's set in a secondhand market.

So now I've "just" got to write it! 😁

My first draft for point one of the #AustralianWritersCentre's Summer 2022 #FuriousFiction brief, Your story must OPEN with a 12-word sentence:

"If I'd known the lamp's troubled history, I'd never have bought it."
