Flash Fiction February

The New Year has passed, and with it the motivation and drive that got you promising yourself twenty sit-ups before you brush your teeth and to spend more time with your crayon-eating hell-raiser toddler before the cock has even crowed.

You need a challenge. You want to build the writing habit. You want your words to mean something.

Welcome to Flash Fiction February! A place where writers come together to  create, hold each other to account, and have some bloody good fun along the way.

Over the course of the month (February, in case that wasn’t too obvious) you will be given a daily writing prompt from which you’ll have the opportunity to create a fresh new story of no more than 1,000 words.

Once the prompt has been issued, you’ll have until midnight the following day (approx 36 hours) to create a sparkling piece of fiction that will be entered into our competition to be published in Activated Authors’ first ever charity anthology, “Bolts of Fiction.”
