It’s time to meet the man behind the worm! With the October Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction less than a week away, our most recent winner, Steve Huff, has something to say about what it takes to make that shortlist (and nab the top prize!) 👀 notquitewritepodcast.com/meet-the-not...

www.nycmidnight.com/flashfiction... So proud of my story, Sweet Water, for its podium finish in this competition. The story features hummingbirds on Manitoulin Island (Canada), and I’m coincidentally back in the area this week as this special story crosses the line in third place.

My 100th published story. So happy it's a story I love in a title I love. And the judge's review (in comments) overjoyed me. 3 years ago, if you'd told me I'd have 100 stories in the world -90 of which I love- i wouldn't have believed it. Deep thanks to the beta readers & editors who helped (1 of 2)
