Flash fiction submitted

Whilst on hols I noticed a flash fiction comp in a writing mag. A 150 word submission on the subject of Footprints. Well my eyes lit up (or was that the vino?!), I'd had a weird idea in my head about footprints for years and to have the opportunity to get it down was perfect. And it didn't need many words.

Of course, it's easy to equate less words with easy. Big no-no. Less words means every one of them counts. No fillers, no waffle, just succinct word play. Not easy at all. Anyway got it down in rough on the beach (steady now) and spent some time over the weekend at home tidying and tightening it up.

I said it seemed perfect and it was but there was a small problem re the submission. I'm not going to reveal what it is yet but I will do so when I know the result. I know you're intrigued now so keep watching!!
