Here I go with another writing experiment. I joined The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down by LayethTheSmackDown, which required me to write Speculative Fiction flash fiction, short stories, drabbles, and poetry inspired by prompts. If you're as unfamiliar with Speculative Fiction as I was when I started this, check out @ReshapeIt for more info.
So, the writing experiment:
- I'd never written Speculative Fiction.
- Or flash fiction.
- Or drabbles.
- Or from an image prompt.
Somehow, I survived the eliminations until round four, part one. I've decided to keep following the contest on my own, so as long as it's running, I'll keep adding chapters within the deadline based on the prompts provided. But I won't stop when the contest ends. This has been such a fun project, so I've decided to pull prompts from various sources around the site and keep it going as long as I can. :)
Note: Word count varies with the application used. All the word counts here come from Google Docs.
The One-shots revolve around the journey of a devoted single father navigating the complexities of parenthood and his deepening bond with his sons.
Each story highlights the unique challenges and heartwarming moments they share, capturing the essence of love, resilience, and the unbreakable ties of family.
