  This anthology of women's fiction, this collection of very short stories, some might say a flash collection, is thought-provoking and each story is based upon a tweet. Except that each piece is 140 words long and not 140 characters. They were collected over three years and edited for another nine months.   A collection of very short stories to suit every mood.

      It's rotten having a birthday just before Christmas.   Sometimes Toby gets just one present for both his birthday and Christmas. Sometimes people just give him money because they've run out of present ideas.   Then when he comes to spend that money there's hardly anything left in the shops. It’s the same this year. He can't find any Lego bricks he wants.   An old man who reminds him of his Grandpa Jack is sitting cold and hungry on the street. Toby thinks of another use for his birthday money.   What he does afterwards reminds his Grandpa Jack of a well-known Christmas song.    On the Feast of Stephen by Gill and Ashleigh James is a feel-good story for early readers.    Buy from Waterstones (UK)  B uy fromBarnesrnes and Noble 9 US) Buy from Amzon-this takesd yto your local link.  B uy from Bootopia( Sus)  Not e, this is an affiliate link and a small portion of what you pay, at no extra cost to you, ...

  There are three prompts a day for the whole of 2023. Some are short and pithy, others are inspired by obscure days e.g. 8 January Bubble Bath Day , and some go into more detail on an aspect of writing craft. There are series that go over a number of days. A few prompts are about works in progress and several give you the choice of working with a text you have already created, creating something new or even editing a completed piece of work. But every prompt gives you the opportunity to write something as well. These prompts were put together by writers published by the Bridge House, CaféLit and Chapeltown imprints, and their friends. Happy writing!     What shall I do with my Creative Writing group? Here are a list of suggestions based on what you might do over a year, whether   you meet once a week or once a month. Each suggested session plan allows you to plan an interesting session with your group, and suggests what to do in the session, what yo...
