Noticing Newbies

Hello and welcome to WDC, S B Huddleston!

Yes, I feel inspired by flash fiction. Most of the ideas I've had for novels have been extensions of short stories I've written, and I get the majority of short story ideas from prompts, like the ones for contests on this site. In fact, I've spent much of my free time today thinking about a prompt in the "Distorted Minds Contest"  and writing a short story in response. In his book On Writing: a memoir of the craft, Stephen King recommends short story writing as the best way to improve your writing craft if you're planning on becoming a serious writer.

I hope you'll have lots of fun writing stories and entering contests on the site. Once you've settled in, please check out "Invalid Item" 

Feel free to message me with any questions. See you around the site!

Bob
