Memories of a Microfiction Story

First, a very Merry Christmas season to those of you who celebrate it.

Aahh, Facebook and it’s Memories feature, reminding me of things I had forgotten about.

Today, I read the memory of a post I wrote this time last year, and the memory put a warm smile on my face.

Last year, I had entered a microfiction story contest sponsored by a group in Scribophile, my writers community, and I won. The story’s format was new for me and presented a fun challenge. Plus, the Word Count Maximum of 150 words meant I had to include a solid beginning, middle, and interesting ending in only a few words. What was the format for the story? I had to write a five-star travel review with a Christmas theme. Something similar to what we’d read either on Yelp or on Trip Advisor.

Below is the link to my blog post with my contest winning story, plus some thoughts I shared about the writing process. Enjoy!
