I placed first in my group in the NYCMidnight Short Story contest, and I am SCREAMING. 😃😃😃

(It’s only round one, but I beat out 27 others!! Eeee!!)

Looks like I’m writing this weekend before Verdant Owl starts for Writing Battle next week!! 💫✨

I unfortunately did not make it past the first round, but that's not to say the competition wasn't worth it. #writing #blog #nycmidnight #shortstory #microfiction

I Entered NYC Midnight's 2026 100-word Microfiction Challenge. Here's How it Went.

[aka-tua-braindump]

I did a thing.

I signed up for the flash fiction challenge to push myself into writing more and working on my creative hobbies.

It's been hard because I barely have the energy to do anything these days, but deadlines make me do shit.

Can't post the story yet until after it's been reviewed (end July) so here is a teaser.

My prompts were: political satire, a panic room, a coffee pot.

Not at all anywhere close to my usual writing, but here it is!

1st Round Results 2022 — nycmidnight

The 1st Round results from the Rhyming Story Challenge 2022.

Ohhh, holy SHIT! My entry got (squeaked!) through to the next round of the NYC Midnight Rhyming Story Challenge. Not bad going for something I wrote in two bloody hours! I'll try to give myself a bit more time for this one, eh?

We’ll be getting prompts – and feedback on the 1st round entry – soon, but the last one, if you’re interested, in my assigned group had to be a rhyming horror story with a theme of “after-hours” and a mention of “energetic”. In 600 words or less.

The after-hours and energetic were easy enough. The horror needed more build, so I’ll be taking the original entry and expanding it sometime – it only need a handful more stanzas to get an actual acceleration into the dénouement...

Anyway: EXCITING!

I'm entering nycmidnight's 250 word flash fiction challenge in eighteen days. I'm pretty new to flash fiction so I made this wheel of genres to practice, in case anyone else would like to use it, whether you are participating or not. nycmidnight explain each genre in depth here.

I am also currently using this random verb generator and this random word generator to practice incorporating the randomly generated word and action.

I decided to enter the NYCmidnight flash fiction competition and of course I have to be sick today 😩 I’ll power through of course, but who knew how hard is was to write a 100 word story

Solution to My Lack of Writing

I entered a contest like a fool.

NYCmidnight2020 competition. It definitely cured my inability to produce anything of worth. Now I wait and see if I advance to next round or not.

Be on lookout for shorter writings from me now. Be posting soon!
