September Site Contest
Write a short story that prominently features elements of the genre prompt.

I pick the winners each week and send them gps.
I pick the best prompt of the month from the four top weekly winners.
The monthly winner will be awarded this contest's exclusive MB!!!
Flash fiction is fun to read and a challenge to write. It must contain all the elements of a larger work of fiction, but in a much shorter space.

This month's question: What are your tips for managing your birthday week time? Send in your answer below!  Editors love feedback!
Last month's "Contests & Activities Newsletter (July 30, 2025)" question: Have you met some of your New Year goals?
Mary Ann MCPhedran  : I have met some of my goals but still not good with contests, atempted some and reverted back to reviewing. I have made a few friends and still working on the contests.
S 🤦  :
So close... I had one writing goal for 2025, and that was to have my 100th short story traditionally published. Well... I've signed the contract! Just a matter of waiting for the book!
Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 : I never kept them so stopped making them.
A'Leigh  : Instead of making resolutions this year I made goals. I thought looking at them as goals and getting them done would bring me much more satisfaction than sticking to some "New Years Resolution". To me the goals were more for me to accomplish and so far so good. I have smashed several of these goals and I just keep going. Good luck to everyone trying to reach yours!
Stik to My Own Beat  : I actually looked into this a couple weeks ago. I've kept at least half of them. Another milestone will likely be met next month.
Hades : Nope, because I didn't set any! It's pretty great.
Mousethyme : All my 2025 goals took a header into the toilet when I was diagnosed with Cancer in March. After that, my goals became nothing more than tolerating treatment and keeping up with appointments.
The Puppet Master  : I did last year. I lost 20 lbs
TheBusmanPoet  : I don't make NY's resolutions. We live each day as best we can. Resolutions will take care of themselves.
THANKFUL SONALI Magical Days!  : I'm sorry I didn't understand the question. 
(Being one of those lazy folks who don't make New Year Goals, I mean to say!! 
jackson : I met the one to not make any.
deemac  : I think maybe I've met one or two of them coming back in the other direction.
