Mother Mercy book cover

If you read my first blog post, Introducing, Flash Fiction Live, then you’ve heard of Natalie Locke and you know me. Hopefully, you’ve had a chance to watch a few episodes of Flash Fiction Live as well, but if you haven’t, the first post will catch you up!

We both enjoyed writing flash fiction and the things we’ve had the opportunity to try, but the most exciting part we get to share with you is our upcoming book, 1,000 Words to Get Started, coming Winter 2024! You can follow us on social media, links below, and get a glimpse of our beautiful cover, designed by Mandi Lynn, author of The Book Launch Planner (and more).

There’s so much that’s special about our book. I’ve shared a few things in the past, but I want to focus on the things that set it apart, and in my eyes, make it the best prompt writing book there is.  

Yes, 1,000 Words to Get Started, is styled like a planner, with stickers (will explain later), and you can write directly on the lined pages. You don’t have to use the lines, technically, that’s not one of the rules, but the pages are… ruled.

We also have challenges, lots of them, but they’re not required. You can use them if you’re feeling up to it, or you can save them for later and rewrite your favorite prompts with an added twist. There’s even a box where you can fill in the challenge number you used so you can keep track of your progress.

Out of all the features, my favorite thing is the word stickers. Yes, that’s right, stickers! With most of the prompts, you can add in words to make it your own, but with all of them, you can also add ten-word stickers. No copying words back and forth and best of all, the spelling is at your fingertips. And there are, you guessed it, 1,000 of them to choose from.

One last tip to sweeten the deal, if you preorder 1,000 Words to Get Started, you get an extra sheet of word stickers to boot! You can preorder here, and follow us on social media for more news and updates. Note: upload a picture/pdf of your preorder receipt using the form at the bottom of the preorder page to get the extra words.
