It's a romance...promise! Can't believe my pungent little story picked up 5th place! Congrats to the winner and other short listers. #notquitewriteprize @NQWpodcast I do seem to have struck upon a theme - perhaps I'll add "Farting is in his wheelhouse" to my author bio.

Love is in the air? Ah no, sorry, something else... Was really happy with how this story turned out and more so to see it on the #NotQuiteWritePrize longlist. Thank you @NQWpodcast

Pushing 40 degrees out in western Sydney today, and as I'm not near a beach, a story about a beach for this month's #furiousfiction is the next best thing. Just a final sound, smell and texture check, and this one's done.

Me telling Chief my story, Untitled #2, is in the #NotQuiteWritePrize anthology. Him not caring as it wasn't about dogs (next year, buddy). Seriously though, thank you @NQWpodcast for letting me be part of this wonderful collection. Snag a copy here - notquitewritepodcast.com/anthology/

Eagerly awaiting my copy of the #NotQuiteWritePrize anthology, highlighting stories from one of the best flash fiction competitions around. Check it out if you've not done so already. You can read my little untitled story, plus 29 much better ones.

Woo! Back in the game! I almost gave up on this story, so I'm delighted to see it crack the long list. Thank you, @NQWpodcast, and many thanks to those that read, commented on, and encouraged it. #notquitewriteprize

Bloody hell this was a tough one. Anyway it's done and in. Now let us never speak of it again...well, unless it makes the longlist. 😅 Thanks (I think) @NQWpodcast for a very challenging round and good luck fellow #notquitewriteprize writers!

Bah! I'm calling it a day. My drafts and ideas for the #NotQuiteWritePrize just aren't doing it for me. Distinctly meh. @NQWpodcast I do believe this is your most devious anti-prompt yet.

Blah. Finally got my October #furiousfiction to 500 words and about ready to submit when I realised I'd forgotten one of the word prompts. Guess I got carried away. 😅 @WritersCentreAU

#30words30days Day 28 - Abound Finally, the forests succumbed in the earth's eternal twilight. Trees, once abound with leaves and life, stood like naked bodies reaching skyward for a warmth that no longer existed.

#30Words30Days Day 24 - Overflow The email was overflowing with spite, but Samantha wasn’t sure what offended her more: her boss’s abusive all caps tirade, or the insincere “Kind Regards” pasted at the end.

#30words30days Day 12 - Harvest Pale under harvest moon, the corn field rippled and shone like waves. Jeb surveyed the crop with satisfaction, and tried to ignore the lonely whispers spoken by those swaying stalks.
