"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Even the Final Showdown was further than I expected for this ambitious 250 word story!

I got past the first (64) bracket and finished in the 32s.

I know 3 of the 4 semi finalists from different writing groups and all the stories were amazing.

This was a tough Battle, amazing work everyone!

About 12h to go until the @writingbattle.bsky.social results are out!

I'm stoked to finally reach the Final Showdown for the first time.

This is my 10th Battle!

Good luck all!

Let's goooo!

Definitely feeling the sting of missing this LL, @notquitewrite.com

Do you sell the voodoo dolls, or is this a DIY affair?

We need 5 more attendees to make this viable, so please jump on board.

If you can't make it, please consider sharing the original post with anyone who's interested in dipping a toe into the world/cult of flash fiction!

@notquitewrite.com Thought you should know I've had a certain song sealed within my skull since last Saturday.

I fear the only way I'll wipe this out is to drop something loud and heavy and kiss the rose goodbye.

This anti-prompt really snagged me at first (I'm definitely guilty of sheltering a Darling or three) and the idea of deliberately not doing that froze me a little.

Amazingly, I ended up feeling pleased with the idea that stumbled into my skull. Fingers crossed @notquitewrite.com are pleased too!

Finally finished turning my first platter.

It was a bit of a journey as I had to repair accidentally ripping the centre out.

Woo! Super excited to have made the Not Quite Write Longlist! Thanks @notquitewrite.bsky.social , this is my second NQW entry and first time making the list 🥰
