I am occasionally bowled over by the generosity of writers--how often they willingly and wholeheartedly share insights into the craft of writing. Jo's series is stellar. I'm honored to be a part of it, and to share it!
This week's FREE Smash Your Flash lesson is all about manipulating time & space, featuring stories by:
Bruce Holland Rogers, @coffeeandpaneer, @KenElkes, @writesloud, @tommydeanwriter, @will_musgrove, @DawnFMiller1, @mohwritesthings & @specialfeather (and me!) 🙌

Did I ever think I'd have a romance story published? No. But, once I had one ready to go, did I immediately send it to @miniskirtmag because they are the best place for love stories? Yes. Am I over the moon they accepted it? Also yes.
I'm looking for great flash that are ghost stories, fables, and fairy tales! I'm working on a list to publish over at Fractured! Link others or your own!
This story did not come easily. It was like wrestling an octopus, but I loved the idea of hauntings enough to keep at it. Years later, I made peace with it and the one and only place I sent it was Fractured Lit. It feels unreal that it's out with them, now.

I thought the best thing that could happen to this story was getting published in @TBQuarterly, but they upped the ante with a nomination for Best of the Net. Thank you to @mmcarrigan and team for understanding and championing this story.
We're publishing the darkest timeline CNF out there, but Don't Worry, the Dog Survives, by @SpecialFeather tells us the good news up front. https://t.co/Km1WNhxoQa
