Flash Fiction Rodeo Contest #8

Posted on November 2, 2017 by Sherri Matthews

This is it, the last ride of the Rodeo! TUFF: The Ultimate Flash Fiction by Charli Mills, Lead Buckroo, is live at Carrot Ranch!

A brief intro: ‘TUFF delivers your elixir. Yes, it’s called TUFF, a play on the acronym and the idea that it’s a tough challenge. It’s five steps, five flash fictions! Yet, it is a tool, a gift to you that you will understand because it will resonate with what writing flash fiction has already taught you.’

If you’re ready to write five flash fictions in one, then this is the contest for you. Deadline 11:59 EST November 6, winner announced December 26. As always, full details below, no entry fee and a cash prize!

This is the last of my reblogs for the Rodeo, which also lists all the dates for the winning announcements for all 8 contests. My ‘Murderous Musings’ winner will be announced on December 19, here and at Carrot Ranch.

I’ll be back here as soon as I come up for some air from the packing boxes and look forward to those long promised visits. And good luck to everyone ink deep in NaNoWriMo. It’s time to ride and write like the wind!

    This was a TUFF one, Sherri. It was kind of amazing to see the difference between the free write and the final story. A great challenge, wonderful writing exercise, and I can’t wait to see the results. 🙂

      I too am looking forward to the results Diana, I just wish I could have taken part given half a chance! But I will definitely be using Charli’s TUFF model for my memoir revisions as soon as I can sit down and get back into the writing saddle again 🙂
