And we’re more than half-way through this heavy year, but we’re still pressing on with the 2020 Flash Fiction Challenge. Thanks to my faithful band of writers who have been playing along. I appreciate you!
June’s authors took on historical fiction in a really creative way! (Read June’s stories here.) Now it’s time for our fifth flash fiction draw!
Here’s the video of me choosing the cards for July’s challenge! Looking forward to reading what you come up with!
You have until Monday July 13 ( 2-3 p.m. EDT) to submit your stories. Please add a link to your stories in the comments section of this post. And if you’re done sooner, you can comment sooner!
I’ll write a summary post later that day and highlight the stories that have come in.
Good luck!

Cait Gordon is a disability advocate who wants everyone to be wise and think of others as we battle COVID-19!
She’s also the author of Life in the ’Cosm and The Stealth Lovers. When Cait’s not writing, she’s editing manuscripts and running The Spoonie Authors Network, a blog whose contributors manage disabilities and/or chronic conditions. She also teamed up with Kohenet Talia C. Johnson to co-edit the Nothing Without Us anthology (now a 2020 Prix Aurora Award nominee) in an attempt to take over the world.
