In the following weeks, we'll feature another String interview with Joel Willans, guest judge of the February competiton as well as an interview with Gaius Coffey, author of the Top Read story at Every Day Fiction for March.

Personal News:

I have a new story up at Short Story America: "Wounded Moon." It's so cool how they do it. It's like it's own little book. You may have to join in order to read it, but probably not.

This story was short-listed in the Fish Short Story Contest in 2008 so you might like it. Find it here. http://bit.ly/woundmoon

Okay You’re Writing: How to Keep Track « Flash Fiction Chronicles

I've posted a way to keep track of stories and subs over at Flash Fiction Chronicles. However, it's one of those iffy propositions. I may not be the right person to actually make recommedations.

I also wanted to let people know that the resolution of the String-of-10 TWO Contest is approaching (the climax being the announcement of the winners. I feel a blog post about three-act structures coming on---be gone be gone!!!)

Here's how things should unfold:

Friday April 9 or April 19th

Interview with Guest Judge Joel Willans by
new FFC assistant editor, Tanya Schofield

Monday April 12

Third place winner "Good Morning Susan" published at
FFC

Interview with author Brittany Soder

Wednesday April 14

Second place winner "Gypsy Flour" published at FFC

Interview with author John Towler

Friday April 16

First Place winner "Salvation" published at Every Day
Fiction

Interview with First Place author Ann Pino at FFC

Hopefully, reading the winning stories will inspire flash writers to challenge themselves to take on a flash-a-day exercise and start submitting in the flash marketplace. And here's a possible way to organize all that:
