October 1: Flash Fiction Challenge

October is Rodeo month at Carrot Ranch.
If you are not familiar, I suggest you head on over to Charli’s site and find out more. If you are a veteran – what are you waiting for? Make your way to the Carrot Ranch for more details on this year’s trials.

Starting October 6th, every Tuesday, a different person will post a Western related prompt for your 99-words (or syllables) flash fiction (or poem).

Yours truly will host a challenge on October 27th. You will have a week to submit your entries. Judging will be done by a third party to avoid bias. One winner will be chosen and awarded $25.

Keep your eyes peeled for my contest, but head on over to the Carrot Ranch to keep busy in the meantime with other prompts. (You can enter all four contests to maximize your chance for winning. Each contest will have a $25 reward for the winner.)

Yeehaw!

Stay golden,

Goldie.

If you wish, bring a dish. Have a snack, toast to blogging, and mingle! This is the fourth edition of the annual Block Party.

Pre – Block Party – Party!

This is where you get a few drinks before the real party begins. Or I just might eat you. I guess it is a 50/50 chance. Are you willing to hedge your bets?

Break

I was halfway through writing the final part of "The Search" this morning when my life decided to fall apart. I will be away from blogging for an unspecified period of time. I might pop in here and there if I have some time, connection, and need a way to escape, but any routine posts...
