Writer Meme Monday: The Truth About Writing

Writer Meme Monday: Aaaaand Writing FAIL.
This was me, today at one o’clock. Actually, probably more like ten a.m. See, I signed up for Fiction War (a flash fiction challenge) with all intentions of writing a story! Writing something!

This was me, at oh-dark-thirty on Saturday morning! (Sort of.) The prompts went live for the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction Challenge #2 at 2359 Friday night. I was fast asleep, but woke early (thanks, Mother Nature), saw my prompts and my imagination went wild! Don’t you love when that happens? Let the forum feedback frenzy…
