Opportunities in the Great Big Literary World

Song of the Day: “Superwoman” by Alicia Keys

Hello All! I am very busy this week reading, and researching, and writing. There just seems to be so much to do! It’s like I can’t stop reading. Perhaps I’m trying to do too much? I’ve got a short list today, but it should keep you busy in the meantime.

Flash Fiction is something that interests me, and I’ve actually written some flash fiction pieces. Last time I checked, there wasn’t a whole lot of information about flash fiction out there. Check out my blog next week, where I will explore the fantastic world of flash fiction! I’m excited to see what I can find!

Hope these contests will give you motivation! Happy Writing!
