Fight flash fiction flab

I didn’t want to say anything, but your flash fiction muscle is looking a little, ahem, atrophied. So take a break from your work-in-progress and flex your flabby flash fiction muscle!

I mean it. Don’t ignore the short fiction area of your brain or you’ll start to look like those guys who go to they gym and only work the upper body.

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? I don’t think so.

TO HELP YOU, my agent is hosting a flash fiction contest. She’s offering the winner a first page manuscript critique and I KNOW YOU KNOW how important first pages are.

A couple of my agent mates and I are judging but we’re not allowed to be bribed (a really dumb rule that I contested).

Check it out here: http://theblabbermouthblog.com/2013/04/24/flash-fiction-challenge-the-fate-of-helga-and-wolfgang/

Come on, just enter. It’ll be fun!
