Great list of prompts, Nancy! 🙂
Thank you for posting! Please continue in coming years, I love writing these prompts. 🙂
I was just wondering, could you make it possible to see prompts from past years?
Thank you! And in answer to your other question, I take them down after a year and keep them compiled for a possible future project…
How many words should each flash fiction story be?
Flash Fiction should be under 1,000 words on the high end, but many stories are much smaller…
