Challenge 2016 Week 1: 7 January 2016

 

Happy New Year – may 2016 bring all the creative forces to fruition.

A huge welcome back to the challenge and thank you for all those of you who sent messages of support while I was in surgery and recovering from the procedures. I am now back and fully fit and able again. Life is so much better now.

Every Thursday a new challenge will be posted consisting of prompts for flash fiction or poetry. As a guide line flash fiction should be around the 200 word count and poetry between 14 and 20 lines.
Your piece can involve one, all or any combination of the prompts given. The key is to enjoy what you are writing and in turn we will enjoy what you give us to read.

Please take the time to leave a link to your piece in comments so others may enjoy your work.

Ok so pens (or fingers) at the ready for some creative fun and I look forward to reading what you write.
