Guide for Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers:
1. Each Tuesday, a prompt photo will be provided for you as a base for your story. (Please attach this photo to your story when you post/publish them).
2. If the photo prompt has not been credited to the photographer on the photo, please give them credit on your post.
3. This challenge will run Wednesday to Wednesday. (Linking times are Tuesday to Tuesday). Time line will be at the bottom of this post. (Please do not wait until the last minute to post your story or others may not get a chance to read it).
4. Story word limits will be 100 – 150 words (give or take 25 words). Please try to stay within this limit. (Please make a note of the number of words used somewhere on your post).
5. Please TAG your posts with “Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers.” This step is important for other bloggers to find our stories in the Reader.
6. Add your story’s link to the InLinkz using the blue froggy button located on this post.
Pre Linking Instructions:
Once you have written and published your story to your blog, tap on the blue (froggy) button, located on this post, or any participants’ post with a “blue froggy button.” (This is the easiest way to link and this option is free).
Linking Instructions:
1) Click on the blue Froggy button.
2) Click on the small blue button that says, “Add your Link”.
3) First box is for your story post’s url.
4) Second box is for the name of your story and blog (up to 50 characters).
5) Third box is for your WordPress email address (only I will see that).
6) Click “Done” on the bottom of that screen.
7) Click on the button that says, “Take me back to the Link Up”. (You should now be able to see your story in the story grid). (See #8)
8) *Optional: At this point you can click on the space of your story icon and choose to download your gravatar there by selecting “add image” from the list on the left of the screen, then follow the directions.
You also have the option to sign up for InLinkz and be able to have the froggy button on your post as well. (If you would like to have a blue button on your post, I will be happy to email you the code to copy and paste to the html side of your post). Having a blue button on your post gives more people the opportunity to read all the stories in the Grid (or give other participants the ability to link their stories from your froggy button). (This option is also free unless you opt to extend your subscription).

Hi Lola, on this site, just click on the home button and then keep scrolling down and down and each time you see the little blue box – the one with the little blue froggy on it – click on it for that weeks prompt and it will take you to another page where all the submissions are and you just click on any of the entries and you’ll be taken to that persons story, just keep going back to the froggy link page to read more of others work. (I hope that all made sense) 🙂
