Monday’s One-Minute Fiction: Week of April 23

Rise and shine! May I borrow a minute of your morning for a quick flash fiction challenge? How quickly does an idea spark and develop into a story when you only have a picture, a word, or a phrase…and one minute to write?

Monday’s One-Minute Fiction challenges you to write a complete micro-fiction piece in, you guessed it, one minute, no more, no less, based on the prompt provided! Of course, you can come back to edit for grammar & spelling, but the story itself must be written in a minute.

The A to Z Challenge is here! Twenty-six posts from A to Z all April long! Are you participating?

Keeping with my own A to Z theme of revisiting old blog post tags to inspire new stories, here’s a prompt that can be innocent or terrifying or both at the same time…

Now it’s time for the rules. I don’t have many, because we all know rules are no fun, but here are the basic logistics for each challenge:

• Write your story in one minute. (Use a stop watch to keep yourself honest. 😉 )
• Post it to your blog and tag it #1MinFiction.
• Link it back to this prompt post.

Let’s get writing, shall we? And…

Ready . . .

Set . . .

Write!
