I\u2019ve been a volunteer with National Flash Fiction Day since 2014, after I had my first ever flash fiction called \u2018What We Do in Our Sleep\u2019 published in the 2014 anthology Eating My Words. With each passing year I have taken on more and more responsibility, including co-editing the 2019, 2018, and 2017 anthologies and joining Calum Kerr as one of the co-directors. It has been a challenge, it has been rewarding, and it has been fun.<\/p>\n
It goes without saying that National Flash Fiction Day means a lot to me, but there\u2019s truth in the saying that you can sometimes have too much of a good thing. Some of you may already be aware of this, but I\u2019m officially sharing that I\u2019m having a fallow year.<\/p>\n
Plans for National Flash Fiction Day 2020 are well underway, having been organised by my tremendous co-directors Diane Simmons and Ingrid Jendrzejewski. They\u2019ll be running the show while I work on some exciting personal projects \u2013 including having a break! There will be more news about those soon\u2026<\/p>\n
My plan is to come back towards the end of 2020 when we\u2019ll begin planning our 2021 celebrations, which will mark National Flash Fiction Day\u2019s TENTH anniversary!<\/p>\n
As always, thank you all for your continued support of NFFD. Without it, we couldn\u2019t do what we do.<\/p>\n
