This year, I did it: waded through every single #nffd26 #flashfiction. So many stunners. '917363' still swimming around in my head, however. @natflashfictionday.bsky.social Congrats to all featured writers and the NFFD heroes. flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/2026/06/9173...

"Even if he felt the need to turn and confirm this, he wouldn’t be able to see her through the tears dissolving his world into a blur, which, he’ll explain to her next, are only the eye’s natural reaction to excessive wind..." Oh, this one...

Check out Matt’s great courses or the glut of free online resources for writers, well worth a coffee (or 10)

Oh, the eggs. While eggs seem to pop up in flash and micro now and then, this one will stick.

Superstars and super humans, as is @kiklodge.bsky.social who tagged me first and, I figured, was out of the running. Maybe I’ve lived in a rule-abiding culture too long…

"In Renaissance Venice, women bleached their hair with horse urine and lemon juice, lying on sun-soaked roofs. Blonde, they believed, was closer to the divine. The sting, the smell, the heat." Gripping piece here from @yallaalia.bsky.social

I'm thinking it's better to celebrate now in case it's the end of the road. Thank you, @smokelong.bsky.social. And writers both on and not on the list? Let's keep writing, of course.

'I fight a twin urge to comfort the kid and stick that bloody pin in the Botox Babe’s fat lip, imagining it releasing air like a deflating balloon, squealing and whining as it collapses.' You're not the only one! A complex glimpse of entrapment in this wee #flashfiction here...

Thank you so much, @fictivedream.bsky.social, for the honor - and for believing in this story to begin with.

For those across the Atlantic, a better value and probably more enjoyable than dinner out :)

If you're up for a class, Matt's classes rock and are well worth every cent, pence or Rappen.

'The first drops of rain fell. The catfish breached the surface, mistaking the rain for food. I thought about how easy it was to do that sometimes, mistake one thing for another.' An unsettling and real read here.

This was excellent - the instruction, conversation and funny little things borne during the prompts (speaking for myself there). Thank you @saloneurope.bsky.social and tutor @julieirigaray.bsky.social, who kept us inspired and in check :)

Very proud of this issue (nothing new there, though)

Am so happy this piece - which took its sweet, maddening time - found such a welcoming home. Thank you @fictivedream.bsky.social (and @theargylelitmag.bsky.social for the original prompt).

Writers and artists, do check it out. The theme? Bully.

This badge feels earned even if there's so much more on my to-do list now (as is the way with all this writing stuff, eh?). Huge thanks to @mattkendrick.bsky.social for the though-provoking material, level of engagement, flexibility and, of course, intro to great new writers and writing.
