I have not written fiction for some time now – like real serious fiction. But I want to get back to writing fiction – all kinds of fiction – tiny fiction, micro fiction, flash fiction, short story and whatever kind is possible.
Do you know what the psychologists say? They say – Creative writing is good for the brain.
I like writing Fiction because
- I have control – I can do whatever I want with the characters, plots, situations – whatever
- This is the only form of communication that I can keep editing till I get right!
- I find a great sense of freedom in writing fiction
So I have decided to make it a practice that I write flash fiction regularly and thus Starting #FridayFotoFiction. I am going to co-host this link party with Mayuri every Friday starting today.
How to participate in #FridayFotoFiction
- Every Friday we’ll give you a photo prompt
- Follow @twinklingtina & @Mayuri6 on twitter and wait for the prompt
- Write a 100 Word story on the photo prompt
- Use the badge at the end of your posts

#FridayFotoFiction – Summer Romance
I never met my dad, he didn’t want me or my mom.
Yet she thinks he’s the finest man she’d ever met.
It baffles me why she never wanted another man. I’ve seen her struggle alone yet she has nothing but love for him.
She says ‘his memories are etched in my heart, it doesn’t matter it’s a summer romance’.
This is where she worked as a teen and this is where he spent days sitting and watching her.
Today as I stand by the tranquil waters I know even if her romance was short, it must have been magical.
***
So people wait no more. Write a 100 word fiction on the photo prompt and link up here. Happy Writing!

You are right about the liberating power of fiction writing.It’s cool to have control over characters and situations.
THANKS for hosting this.
Loyalty and Longing are ingredients for some of the best love stories! Well written!
True That. I like it when people are happy inside
ya it kept her going through thick and thin.
Fiction actually helps you in imagining things, connecting them and searching for words that would exactly help you convey what you see in your mind. It is an art of bringing images to your reader through your words.
I love writing fiction (though my editor may say the opposite!)
It keeps me sane and at times hen I want to get aloof I write – Fiction.
Nice story line, yes -It Kept Her Going Through Thick and Thin
Tina 🙂
You are on a roll !!!
Great going buddy !!
This is awesome, Tina! I like reading fiction but not really a storyteller myself. Whereas, I know that there are many others who are wonderful story-weavers and thru this initiative of yours, I’m going to get a good set of stories to read.
Also, Mayuri is one of my favorite fiction writers and you are my forever favorite food blogger. 😉
Wishing you guys all the very best. Kudos! 🙂
Thank you Saumy. And this is also a good excuse to start writing yourself. It’s just 100 words! Do give it a try Saumy
I love the challenge of writing in 100 words. And to club it with a photo prompt is all the more challenging. Loved your take on the prompt.
Good start tina..I am not really a fiction writer but gave it a try today. All the best for this initiative. 🙂
I find fiction writing difficult, but you made this look so easy Tina! And I love Mayuri’s writing too – she’s really got a knack for writing fiction!
