I needed this!
Celebrate each
success! Often, I act as a cheerleader for other writer-friends. We all go
through self-doubt. Every acknowledgement adds to the well of good wishes. I
have to give special thanks to author Siobhan
Muir who every week offers a flash fiction challenge, #ThursThreads.
Yesterday, as I often
do on a Thursday, I looked at the prompt first thing in the morning, and then
went about my day. It ended up a bit crazier than usual: drop-off and pick up of
my teen daughter at a “shadow day” at her high school of choice for next year;
trip to the dermatologist for her, lunch and the “cool” mall near the doctor’s
office because, you know, we were close.
We returned home half
an hour before the tutor arrived, and during their session I stole some time to
write my entry. Actual writing/editing time was less than 45 minutes. Sound
fast? Too long? I have no idea how long others spend on the flash entries. Some
days, I can write it early and tweak it a few times through the day before
eventually posting.
The characters – Sam and
Johnny – have lived with me for a few years now. They first surfaced in the
full-length novel Sex University:
Physical Education, which was recently re-edited and re-released, and I’m working
on their story.
Before I spout on too
much, here’s a link to the winning entry. Congratulations to all who entered,
and to the honorable mentions.
If you’re
interested in reading more about Sam and Johnny first meet, including a sexy
voyeuristic scene, here’s the info on Physical
Ed. Hopefully, you’ll be reading more soon, which means I better get to
work!
Physical Education
Tired of sexual
norms and wanting to expand her pleasure, Amanda “Mandi” Wilkinson enrolls in
summer school at San Francisco Sex University, an exclusive sex school located
in the heart of San Francisco. What Mandi doesn’t realize is that not all the
mysterious drop-outs are simply flunking sex-ed.
Reed McAllister
came to Sex U. for reasons all his own. Undercover, he’s searching for a woman,
the right woman, and so far he doesn’t have any leads. Reed never saw himself
working at a place such as SFSU, let alone instructing,
but he had to admit it – the job did come with its perks.
When Mandi turns
up on the missing list, will Reed be able to save her and give her the lessons
she so desires?
