Flash Practice Tuesday 10th October
Hang on to my shirt-tails, gonna try for a story or flash (or a CW article) every day for the rest of the month. Might try also to catch up those two missing days.
PS If you're interested in Flashing Tuesday Night, a set of prompts on the hour from 6PM to Midnight, (up to 7 flashes) please respond to my email address asap. This is particularly for Children in Nedd Maatnoneers to practice but all are welcome.
You think it can't be done? It can, and far more, and for whatever reason, these sessions always surprise people. They produce stories they did not believe were in them.
email alex.keegan@btconnect.com
PLEASE NOTE
Though the ideal is to sit down at five-to-six and blast away until one a.m. (seven flashes) doing 1, 2, 3 or more stories is still good practice, and you get to test yourself, find out stuff you didn't know. I am always amazed at the best work from these flash sessions. The best is classy. Some BCers, for example produce their BEST work under this kind of pressure, work that reads better than stories they've toiled over.
So join us, even if only for one story. But let me know beforehand so I can set up a mailing list.

Monday Morning Prompts
Nothing Either Way
Seen from the cliffs the sea circles slowly
The Music in the Wire
Wakening, peering through eye-windows, uncurious, not amazed
GATES
Angle-Poise
The force that through the green shoots drives the flower
MSS
Caught in an octagon of unaccustomed light
I meant to say, because I'm dying
Telephone Call for the Condemned, Telephone Call for the Condemned
SHEEP
The Difference Between Perhaps and Maybe
BLANKS
Solicitors with poker faces
CHANGE
Coming, in September, through the thin streets
TICKET
The cottage squatted in its tangled gardens

Just to say I managed to use ALL these prompts for a story I'd say is comfortably publishable, at least a 120 in BC Terms
