Good Morning, and Happy National Flash-Fiction Day,<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Yes, the day is finally here and there is plenty going on.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you follow us on Twitter or Facebook, then you have almost certainly seen the torrent of words which is FlashFlood http:\/\/<\/wbr>flashfloodjournal.blogspot.co.<\/wbr>uk\/<\/a>. They are pouring out at a rate of almost one every 10 minutes right through till midnight. Lots of great stories. Enjoy, comment, and share!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In other virtual realms, we have a selection of ebooks, including last year’s anthology, Jawbreakers, which will be free this weekend. http:\/\/<\/wbr>nationalflashfictionday.co.uk\/<\/wbr>kindle.html<\/a> (Although, at the time of writing, the price promotion hasn’t kicked in. That’s Amazon, not us, so keep your eyes on the books, they WILL be free soon!)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And, of course, this year’s anthology, Scraps, is now available on Kindle too (http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/<\/wbr>Scraps-ebook\/dp\/B00DEFT5ZY\/<\/wbr>ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=<\/wbr>1371886611&sr=8-4&keywords=<\/wbr>calum+kerr<\/a>). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you download any of these books, it would be wonderful if you could leave a review. They do make a difference.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Scraps, the paperback book, after a slight delay at the printers. has now officially arrived. It will be available at the Bristol events (more below) and any pre-orders will be shipped on Monday. You can order your copy, and more, at http:\/\/<\/wbr>nationalflashfictionday.co.uk\/<\/wbr>shop.html<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And, what else? Well, as mentioned above, there are a couple of events happening in Bristol today – a workshop I shall be co-leading with Tania Hershman, and a reading this evening with loads of great writers. I shall be at both, so do come along it would be great to see you. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And a host of other events are getting underway, including events in Abergavenny and Manchester which have been added in the last couple of days. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A full list can be found at http:\/\/<\/wbr>nationalflashfictionday.co.uk\/<\/wbr>events.html<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Apart from that, it just remains for me to thank you all for your continued support, to wish you a very happy National Flash-Fiction Day and to hope you will enjoy it and spend at least some time writing those tiny gems which have brought us together again. And please, send us anything you write, whether a blog post, a story, a review of an event, or whatever. We will post them over the coming days and weeks, or share the link (if it is a link). We want to know how you have celebrated the day and then share it with others.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy NFFD!<\/b><\/div>\n
All best<\/b><\/div>\n
