3rd Flash-Style Flash Fiction Battle
2 New Writers Step into the Ring
Greetings, Greetings, Greetings! Fellow word worms and pulse punchers!
The writer lives a burden dedicated to the shaping of words. They have barns filled with dictionaries, front lawns covered in idioms, basements backed up in grammar and style guides.
The wood is the words growing from the writer’s imagination at a rapid pace or a slow stream, but the wood is just the raw material, it isn’t until you start cutting, editing and shaping, like a lumberjack at work, that true art can be mastered and presented.
Both writer today bring a commitment to the craft of writing that would make Paul Bunyan give the winner of their battle Babe, his Blue Ox.
They are more persistent and deadly in short battle than a woodpecker.
Their final products are totem poles to their dedication to the burden and magic of storytelling.
