300 Days Of Flash Writing

An Update

It's been over a year since I started following Shekina's 300 days of flash. But with moving country, starting new jobs, working on novels, and more, I wasn't able to finish.

And that's okay.

At first, I really beat myself up for not finishing. I kept thinking that I had to finish this. But I've come to realize and accept that writing is such a personal and often solitary journey. Participating in a 300 days of flash was a great way to feel connected, and that is why rather than finishing this venture on my own, I plan to revive it in a new way this November 2023!

Check out my post on NaNoFlashMo!

I'm going to be writing for 10 minutes a day for 300 days!

I'll be posting the flash fiction on my Instagram, Twitter, and here on #theNestblog!

My dear friend, Shekina, is posting the prompts and organizing this event and you can follow along on her blog.

Some posts will be long, some will be short. Some will be silly or whimsical, others straightforward and real. The best part? With this flash challenge it can be any and all of those things. This is a chance to let the imagination wander and just write.
