Good Friday,
I don’t have an interview for you this week. Instead I have a bit of flash fiction.
Before the flash fiction—
Nanowrimo has officially begun!
Show of hands, who’s taking the challenge?
New for the month of November: On Writer’s Wednesday, along with my editing progress for the urban fantasy, I’ll be posting my word progress and projected finish date for Nanowrimo. And I encourage anyone who’s participating to share their progress on Wednesdays.
50k, all the way!
K, flash fiction.
A Seton Hill friend did a Ten Days of Flash Fiction challenge on Facebook. She started an event and challenged everyone who joined to write a piece of flash fiction every day for—you guessed it—ten days.
The following is one of the things I came up with. It clocks in at a total of 42 words (the meaning of life). I’ll explain the inspiration behind it after the 42 words. If I do it now, it will give it away.
Enjoy

"Not really. All part of the adventure. Nice backpack. It reminds me of a fin—”
Chomp.

Recently, there were great white shark sightings up near New England. They’d closed down the beaches at Cape Cod in Massachusetts and warned people to stay out of the water. As I have observed, however, “there’s always one idiot.”
This is the idiot, which I think may also be the title of this piece.
Have a wonderful weekend.
P.S. Anyone going to the World Fantasy Convention—have a blast! My goal is to get there next year.
