Hi Priceless Joy! I accidentally deleted your reply on my page, I’m so sorry to hear the FFFAW will be “closing”. How can I find out about your new challenge? Also, thank you so much for your kind words about my story, Balloon Man 🙂

The challenge runs for a week. It opens on a Tuesday morning and closes the following Tuesday evening. When one week closes, a new week opens. In a few minutes I will be sending out the new post for this week’s challenge. InLinkz (where we link our stories to) is open for the week that we are writing our stories. When one week ends, that particular InLinkz grid closes and the new InLinkz grid opens. Does this make sense?

Only 1 post per week of the challenge. The follow button are on the bottom of the page on this blog’s theme. To get the challenges you need to follow the blog and make sure you get instant emails.

Although I participate in two 100 word writing programs (Mondays Finish the Story and Friday Fictioneers) I would like to join this one, too. Sometimes I need a few more words and 150 sounds wonderful. Good luck with your venture.
