I can’t wait to see how my whim fares!
Whimsy@whimsyfiction.bsky.social · last mo.And the theme for the very first Whimsy is… Monster Problems. Writers have a week to whittle together a 300-word tale of whimsy based on one of our five whims and whatever unique object landed in their inbox. We can’t wait to see where your whims take you! 🦙🪶
Of course the idea for my Whimsy piece came to me at 5am mere hours from the deadline. But dang, had so much fun writing it! I dedicate my monster piece to my insomnia. Check out the @whimsyfiction.bsky.social monthly prompts for monthly fun writing challenges. #amwriting #flashfiction #whimsy
This is a miracle but I squeaked something in just before deadline. Holidays like this just aren't conducive to relaxed writing time but the FOMO wouldn't allow a DNF. Thanks for fun prompts @whimsyfiction.bsky.social
Ah, yes, the distant cousin of naming a document and taking a well earned nap for doing so. Excited to see where that imagination took you, Avery! 🦙🪶👏
Avery Other@averyother.bsky.social · 4w agoThe idea: day 1, nigh immediate. The actual writing: last minute. As one does. This was fun! Let's do it again next month. 😁 @whimsyfiction.bsky.social
Boy, was this real last minute, but I'm happy I got it done! This was a lot of fun ^^ @whimsyfiction.bsky.social
