33-word Flash Fiction. Theme: WRITING
Another overwhelming response from readers. Here in one Gallery, you get to read all 19 takes on the theme “writing”.
Welcome. Step in, take your time and enjoy.
Let’s start with the contribution from Ben blogging as The Most Excellent Way. What a unique approach to expressing writer’s block. Glad to have you on board, Ben 🙂
This next lady really needs no introduction in Blogsville. Please welcome Soumya Vilekar blogging as SOUMYAV
We have a new contributor with her take on Writing. People, please read Helena blogging as Helena Mallett 75 word Story Teller
Tammy Jane Lepp blogging as SMILINGLIKECAKE took the plunge and contributed her work titled: Pure Thing. Lovely, I reckon.
Next up is Alia who goes by as vision5d2012 blogging as 13th Paradigm. Alia and her hubby, Tomas, are two marvellous souls I met in Blogsville.
I am a regular reader and commenter of Janna blogging as Janna T Writes. Please pause and relish her contribution.

Please welcome again lovely Jane Stansfeld blogging as jstansfeld. Many of you will remember her blog – my Blog Pick of April 2013.
From new contributor Troy blogging as troysherdahl, he speaks of Blocked Brain and Block Drained. Careful now, as you read, don’t trip over your tongue 🙂
Two contributions from a good friend Paul Grignon blogging as Paul Grignon. He is a regular commenter in my blog and always comes up with thought filled poems and comments. He is in his element here.
The second piece from Paul blogging as Paul Grignon as he confronts that dreaded challenge from a “white sheet”
A lovely take on the theme from Maryrose blogging as BLACKROSE. English is not my mother tongue and her piece reminds me to think in English when I write in English. Thank you Maryrose 🙂
This next is from elizfrat blogging as elizabethfrattaroli . Her contribution: A writer’s confetti. A small whisper, Elizabeth is an investment manager. All us ‘non-literary’ types (I’m an engineer) are coming out 🙂

It gives me great pleasure to welcome a regular contributor to my galleries. Peg Richards blogging as Listening for Joy and her contribution titled Whispers of Words
Many of you know Padmini who goes by as nightlake blogging as call2read. She is also my Blog Pick for March 2013. Trust me when I say she can spin a story 🙂
This last piece simply titled Writing is from regular contributor, Susan blogging as A woman’s view of hunting — with men. She was actually the first contributor to this gallery and set the ball rolling. Thank you very much Susan 🙂
And that, as my good friend Jasey Chua would say, “is a wrap, folks”. Hope you enjoyed the tour 🙂
I’ll return with a WORD PROMPT imbedded in a 33 word flash fiction and some guidelines on how you too can participate in the next gallery. Hope you can join and share your talent.

Hi Eric. I know I’m late for this, but I got to thinking about “writing” on the way home today and wanted to share with you. I’ve been writing 100 word pieces, so this was an interesting new exercise for me.
Write, she told me
and I ignored her advice.
But she was there at my birth
and she knew what was good
and that her milk would only nourish me
for so long.

Dear Eric,
Thank you for considering me one of your regulars. I am honored to be included in this fine gathering of writers.
It is always my pleasure to include your site in my own blogs, as many others should indeed stop by there and peruse your excellent offerings. To read your words, and the words of others can only inspire other writers.
Thank you also for the comments about my ‘bite’ blog. That was a quick and fun exercise. I suppose a li’l Brothers Grinn (Sex & Fidelity) still rubbed off on me–so to speak–and I continued the erotic theme. 🙂
I consider you a kindred spirit and brother and I am gratified to know that you are indeed a dear friend.
Best to you in your current book, and all your other creative WIPs. (And that has nothing to do with a quirt, mind you…) 🙂
Take care, and have a lovely weekend,
Paul

Dear Eric,
I am delighted and very grateful to have both my contributions in your gallery of writers on writing. A treasure trove of poignant passages, and it’s nice to know so many people have read and commented on the poems. I especially enjoyed elizfrat’s piece.
It appears that, through the myriad of comments, many others will contribute come the next prompt. We all look forward to it, as well as to your own initial posting of the next theme.
Kudos on the tome deal, and best wishes to you, good Sir!
Cheers,
Paul 🙂 🙂

Dear Paul,
The feeling is mutual – delighted and grateful that you joined in and helped make this ‘gallery’ a success. I simply love reading all the various takes on a given theme or prompt – it helps me understand people’s thinking which is fascinating.
Yes, every new prompt/gallery attracts a slew of new entrants – and then, the contributors whom I treasure – the regulars. The “regulars” are the ones who keep me enthused and going, and to them – we all owe immense gratitude. You have one of my regulars, Paul. Thank you my friend.
Thank you re the book project. Coming along well, kind sir 🙂
All good wishes for the weekend,
Eric
