Racing a Deadline: QSF’s Annual Flash Fiction Contest
For the last two years I have entered Queer Sci Fi's annual flash fiction contest without any success in making it into the anthology. I am still determined, however, to give it another go. Third times the charm, as they say, even if each year QSF is getting an influx in entries which lessens the … Continue reading Racing a Deadline: QSF’s Annual Flash Fiction Contest

Hi, everyone. I know, I dropped off on a long hiatus again. I didn't keep up with writing as I had wanted to. I have, however, started to keep up with weekly flash fiction challenges.
