5MinuteFiction Blog Tour!



As some of you already know, I was the guest judge on the 5MinuteFiction (5MF) Contest last week, which is hosted by our amazing fellow writer, Leah Petersen on her blog.  “Why is this called 5MF?” you might wonder. Because you have to write a nice little piece of fiction in five minutes. Crazy people that we are!

So.  After I had a blast reading last week’s entries, Leah asked me if I wanted to host this FUN contest here, on my blog on Tuesday, March 15th. Obviously, I said I’d LOVE to.  And I’ve got more good news.  5MF is going to be on tour all March!

Here’s the schedule: (Edited)

March 8: Claire LeGrand: http://claire-legrand.com/
March 15: Monica BW: http://www.monibw.blogspot.com/
March 22: Richard Wood: http://www.rbwood.com/
March 29: Robert James Russell: http://www.robertjamesrussell.com/
April 5:  Sam Adamson: http://future-nostalgic.blogspot.com/

The guest judge on March 15th will be my dear friend, Shelley Waters, who is represented by Mark McVeigh of the McVeigh Agency.  You can check her blog here, and find her on Twitter here.  (She is fabulous, btw!)


What’s the prize? Well, nothing, obviously. =D
But we’ll all agree to tweet and/or blog about the winners so their fames and fortunes will be assured.

So, guys, I’d love to see you around! And the more participants the more FUN we’ll have, right?  Stay tuned for details!

Hugs!

  4. Oh that sounds like fun! But how do we obsessively edit a story in only five minutes? Or is that the point? LOL

  12. I'm new to your blog (and the blogging community all around) but I wanted to say that although I may chicken out on the contest, this is an awesome way to "practice" writing without editing like my livelihood depends on it! :)

  14. Good luck! I could never write fiction in five minutes. Just the though of it and I'd freeze. ;)
