26 letters in the alphabet provide the start of 26 flash fiction stories. Each story was written based upon a word and a photo used for inspiration. That's the A to Z.This year I will do something similar, still writing flash fiction but my word will be a Spanish word (a nod to my new homeland of Ecuador) starting with the letter of the day. Each word that I have chosen will have the English translation/word also start with the same letter.
The 10 by 10 refers to the story length. Each story was written in no more than ten sentences but with a minimum of 100 words (10x10=100).
Some tell a sweet tale, some have unexpected twists, some leaving you wanting more and some, well that's up to you!
Beyond that I'm still open...do I restrict the length? Do I base it in Ecuador? Do I use a photo prompt like I did last time? Hmmm, time will tell - be sure to leave your suggestions before I start writing!
Oh, and I sincerely hope you will tell your friends about this and then come back to enjoy the results.

This is great! I still need to do a compilation of all the books that have been published as a result of A to Z.

A Few Words
It was fun to do and I hated missing it last year so excited about it. Not sure if I will put them into a book or not but I know in 2012 several others did besides me.
DeleteI have signed up for the challenge this year. Looking forward to it and to reading your posts.

Thank you, Erica, will put your blog on my follow list!
DeleteYour flash fiction was amazing. Missed you terribly last year. Glad you're able to join again and looking forward to learning a little Spanish along the way!
ReplyDeleteHope Ecuador's treating you well. xx
I missed doing it as well as following other A-Z blogs. Got to get started writing NOW or I'll never make it. LOL! Hugs!!!!
