It's time for the April Fiction in 50 blog hop! I'm posting up early so that it's ready for you Sunday no matter what time zone you're in.
What is #Fi50? In the words of founder Bruce Gargoyle, "Fiction in 50: think of it as the anti-NaNoWriMo experience!" Pack a beginning, middle and end of story into 50 words or less (bonus points for hitting exactly 50 words).
The rules for participation are simple:
1. Create a piece of fictional writing in 50 words or less, ideally using the prompt as title or theme or inspiration. Bonus points for hitting 50 words exactly.That’s it! But for those who wish to challenge themselves further, here’s an additional rule:
2. Post your piece of flash fiction on your blog or (for those poor blog-less souls) add it as a comment on the Ninja Librarian’s post for everyone to enjoy.
And for those thrill-seekers who really like to go the extra mile (ie: perfectionists):
3. Add the nifty little picture above to your post (credit for which goes entirely to ideflex over at acrossthebored.com) or create your own Fi50 meme pic….
and 4. Link back to my post so others can jump on the mini-fic bandwagon.
The April prompt is...
Hours of Fun
That's it. Pick your 50 words with care and post your link in the comments!
Hours of Fun
Fluffy gets bored and shreds the furniture. I spent most of Saturday searching for a good toy to distract her while I work.My son raises lab rats, small furry white scurrying creatures. When I got home, somehow they had gotten out of their cage.
Fluffy found her own entertainment.

I have to confess; I haven't done an Fi50 this month. I'm a failure. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
ReplyDeleteScarcely makes you a failure! And there's time... the month isn't over yet :D
