Last week’s challenge is, “Choose Your Opening Line.” Winners will be chosen in a week or two because lawds-a-mercy, you folks sure turned in lots of entries!
This week is a simple one.
I want to you to come up with a title.
Just one. A single title to a future and unwritten flash fiction story.
Post it in the comments below. I’ll pick my three favorites and they will get RANDOM GOODIES FROM ME. Somehow. Then, the following challenge will be for you folks to write stories based on the chosen titles. You picking up what I’m laying down?
You may enter once.
Enter by next Friday, the 26th. Noon EST.
Now, name that story.

“If Kisses Were Wishes” – because I’ve had the title stuck in my head for a couple of years, and no ideas to go with it :P.

I hate coming up with titles. It is the one part of my writing that I would gladly give over to someone else. I have the beginnings of a story that I saved using the following title, which saves me from having to wrack my brain coming up with another:

Haha, it took me 3 months to do the last flash fiction challenge (http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2013/01/18/flash-fiction-challenge-photos-of-impossible-places/), so I think I’ll sit this one out. 🙂
Just joking.
Heh. Yeh. Why not. Here’s my entry then: “Just Joking”
Peace & love,
Max

Also, if you all will forgive a conspicuous plug: to anyone who said they’d read more of the story I put up last week, now you can. The story and its subsequent follow-ups are being serialized as a novel at Figment.com (http://figment.com/books/623611-Floodgate-Star). The novel is called Floodgate Star and will update every Friday until it’s done.
