Donna, another lovely short. Have you heard of #5MinuteFiction? It is a flash fic contest that happens each Tuesday evening. (630 Mountain Time) You follow the prompt and have 5 minutes... it is a ton of fun and I bet you'd be great at it! Here is the home: http://nicolewolverton.com/?page_id=648
You really do a terrific job of condensing so much into so few sentences. That poor boy, unable to join in the boisterousness, and that poor teacher, anxious to go home. Nicely done!
And I nearly missed this one. Sorry Donna, finally found your archive blog list, I must remember to scroll down pages ;). Glad I was able to provide a prompt. You get so much feeling into so few words. Lynne @lynneinPborough
A great use of the letter B. :) And great theme!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard enough for me to post every day...I'm doubly impressed by the fact that you're incorporating fiction! I love the word "boisterous".
ReplyDeleteNice snippet. I can see the impatient teacher, the boy struggling to come up with something.
ReplyDeleteIt was at that point, that Matt Dillon decided that writing was not for him and that he would become an actor.
ReplyDelete@LynnThanks, Lynn. Now if I could just nail "G". It's eluding me. LOL!
ReplyDelete@StephanieThanks, Stephanie. I'm trying to keep it simple...too much real life right now. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I absolutely LOVE the name of your blog!!
@Bish DenhamThanks, every day is definitely a challenge to create a story in ten sentences. LOL!
ReplyDelete@DCROFLOL! Loving that take on it...and I changed his name three times.
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteExcellent theme idea!
ReplyDeleteI almost feel sorry for Dillon, except that I didn't struggle with writing anything after fifth grade.
:-)
I guess that means I have to pity him more. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful use of the letter B! Love your theme idea! New follower!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
My A-Z
Cute! We've all been there, right? How are you supposed to concentrate when everyone else is outside having so much fun?

Hi Donna, thanks for popping back round to AB. Wonder what tomorrow's plucky narrator will contend against in ten sentences or less. :)
ReplyDeleteYou really do a terrific job of condensing so much into so few sentences. That poor boy, unable to join in the boisterousness, and that poor teacher, anxious to go home. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI love these wee stories always leave me wondering..what happened next?
ReplyDeleteI love this. Makes me want to read more.
ReplyDeleteGreat peek into a moment.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm really impressed you're writing so far ahead - would that I were!
Poor kiddo! I feel his pain!
ReplyDeleteAnd I nearly missed this one. Sorry Donna, finally found your archive blog list, I must remember to scroll down pages ;). Glad I was able to provide a prompt. You get so much feeling into so few words.
