Flash Me Monday #1

August 11, 2008 at 6:00 am | Category: blog

Welcome to the first Flash Me Monday.  What, you ask?  Flash Me Monday?

Let me share my newest vision with you.

Each Monday, I will post 3 prompt words.  You, my faithful readers, are urged to take said words and whip up a 200 – 500 word flash fiction story.  I will then pick my favorite each week to be posted on the following Sunday.  I’m working on guest judging once in a while.  I’ll keep you all posted on when that will happen.

The rules are simple.  You must use all three words.  All entries need to be emailed to author@barkevich.com by midnight EST that Friday.  No taboo topics.  The usual things listed in the submission guidelines of most reputable publishing houses is a good bet to go by.  Nothing derogatory or hateful.  You’ll lessen your chances of being picked for the Sunday posting if there is anything that might be deemed inappropriate for the wide variety of readers found at this blog so let’s keep it PG…or PG-13 at the very least. 

All right!  For our first 3 words.  Let’s go with:

1. Flag
2. Jug
3. Butterfly

Remember, all three words must appear in your story.  Good luck, everyone.  And have fun with it!
