Flash Fiction Starter Complete

Here's my response to the flash fiction starter sentence project. I actually had something longer planned in the beginning, but I felt this ending was appropriate.

I'm not sure if the last sentence really "jives" with the rest of the work, but it's supposed to be short, light, and wistful :)
Tell me what you think.

Note on Google Docs

This is the most effective way I have found to share Google Doc files:
Upload the file to your folder
Right-click the file and select "Publish"
Click the button "Publish document"
Then paste the link that Google creates for you

Also, it might be helpful to create your own separate post if you do a challenge or post a work, so that way it's easier for people to comment specifically on your work.

If possible, try to tag your posts as well :)

Word Poem Challenge

I thought posting challenges from time to time might be helpful to keep us moving along. This challenge was posed to me by a WashU poet on Thursday.

Word Poem:
-Write a poem using the following words:
glory, peculiar, convivial, pain, fathom, grim
(or some close version of them)
-Poem must be 13 lines long

Don't worry about quality! Just have fun with it, even if you don't think you're "good" at poetry.
Here is the poem I came up with.

PRO-TIP: I highly recommend bookmarking this site or adding it so you can see the updates somehow (RSS feed?)

QUESTION: What do you guys want to see the most from this blog/site? Comment/reply here!

To the Future!

I'm hoping this new form of TTI will be enticing for all those involved.

This is a fresh start.
A clean slate!
That being said, don't worry if you haven't read everybody else's work before this; just try to make an effort to read what you can.

You can stay anonymous or not, it doesn't matter. You can make posts on this blog in your own ID if you like (might have to set that up in the options, though, but no biggie) or just using the TTI account.

I've been messing around with Google Docs and it's a blast. The TTI Google Docs page can be found here, and I've created a few folders and uploaded some stuff, but feel free to add to it, or link to your works in whatever way you like.
E-mailing to all on the list is still acceptable, I assume.
