The A To Z Theme Reveal

By Michelle Wallace | March 24, 2015 | 67

I’m a day late in posting this!

My theme for this year’s challenge involves 3 elements…

                                                            *drum roll*

                                           

                         A beautiful photograph

                                             +

                  A randomly chosen phrase

                                  +

                                      An object

                                             which equals……………………

                                 NIFTY NUGGETS!!

Twenty six pieces of flash fiction, not exceeding 300 words… *hopefully*… based on a photo, a phrase and an object.

 Reminder: the IWSG admins will be posting daily over at the website. The theme is Writing Inspiration, twenty six posts filled with positive, encouraging, confidence boosting information.

Everyday, you’ll have the opportunity to link your A to Z posts to the ‘letter of the day’ over at the IWSG Facebook page. 

 …and I’m proud to be marching onward and upward as part of the Joyful Brigade, providing behind-the-scenes-assistance as we move along from A to Z… **insert drum beat**
See you around on the A to Z circuit!

    Nifty Nuggets! (Not to be confused with Chicken Nuggets.) Great idea. Yours sounds as challenging as mine.

      It’s nuggets as in chunks of golden nuggets…
      But I hope they turn out as golden as crispy chicken nuggets. 🙂

    Wow, I commend you for aiming for 300-word stories. I’m aiming for 500 words, which I’ve been exceeding more often than not. And Nifty Nuggets is such a cool title. Nifty Nuggets… it’s like a little song. 😉

    Anyway, see you in April!

    You know, Michelle, I literally don’t know what I’d do without you. You and Alex and Tina (who I’ve been missing a lot lately) and Laura and Diana and- I could go on for a while, but you get the idea. You guys are the most supportive cast of characters I’ve ever been blessed to know. Thank you so much for your support!

    As for the theme- I agree with Alex, it sounds just as challenging as his. no wait, I take that back. It sounds MORE challenging than his because you have to everything in flash fiction format. Godspeed! I’ll be here, reading each post and be enthralled by your writing!
