The Not Quite Write Prize 2025 Anthology on the library shelf
Well, look who's on the shelves of my local library in Penrith! Not sure about your shelf mates there @notquitewrite.com but if someone happened to move you to the feature stand out front, I know nothing about it. #notquitewriteprize
Justice is blind, but revenge is 20-20! Oh wait, that's hindsight... Well, probably best not to look back anyway. #notquitewriteprize @notquitewrite.com
I said it was drivel! 👀
And yes, you guessed it, I was team Amanda...
'Was'
It's all Ed from now on...

Just started listening to the #NotQuiteWritePrize longlist episode (though I've already spotted some familiar names rightly boasting their success here!), and wish to point out I chose the "interior" flawed-character prompt not the "inferior" team, Amanda! 😂
Argh! Entering dates for April's #NotQuiteWritePrize run by the @notquitewrite.com podcast and I've realised I'll be holidaying in Japan during the competition weekend! May have to submit a #haiku instead of a 500-word #shortstory! 😬 #writesky #writers #writing notquitewritepodcast.com/prize/
“I finally figured out who’s to blame for global warming, Maude!”
“Humans using fossil fuels, Fred?”
“No! Fish!”
“Fish?”
“All this trouble started when some pollock crawled out the ocean…”

Creative weekend, crafting a #shortstory for the #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction run by the @notquitewrite.com podcast. Here's the story I wrote for last January's competition, with help from my uncle in The Afterlife! ✍️ #writers #writing #writesky www.tallandtrue.com.au/fiction/shor...
Navy blue background, red/pink banner says Not Quite Write, then white bar with Submitted! center is a gold medalion with 6point star says TEam Amanda. Underneath it all is noquitewriteprize.com a quarterly flash fiction competition with a twist.
I wrote 2 stories, submitted one. When prompts speak to you, you write. Team Amanda FTW! Who's with me?

Ah, another last hour special for the #NotQuiteWritePrize. Much later and it would have been an actual write off, but it's away now.

The Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction story submission page.
I've submitted my January 2026 #shortstory for the #NotQuiteWritePrize for #FlashFiction. With due respect to the @notquitewrite.com podcast hosts and prize judges, Team Ed or Team Amanda was less important to me than choosing the prompts for my story. And it's nice to have a choice! ✍️ #writing
Team Ed woot woot! It's done! Now I have to think up my NYCM SS!

Well, I think I broke a few writing rules (must be stuck in 2025) but it's in! We'll see if the writing is good enough to disprove those rules or not. #NotQuiteWritePrize
Yee-haw! After a DNF last round, I'm back in business.
Let's go team @akscotland.bsky.social!

Woohoo! I submitted my 500-word flash fiction story for Team Outlaw in the January NotQuiteWritePrize competition!
The scalding shower helps with composition,
As I lather up my exfoliating mitten,
For from the soapy scum,
Creative ideas finally come,
And another NQW flash-fiction entry has been written.

Well that was a lovely story. Hope the judges think so, too. A huge thanks to my goblins for their swift and pointed feedback.

I did it!
...500 words of drivel, but I did it...
But who did I team up with? I hear you ask.
You'll just have to find out later.

A gold badge with an old-timey sheriff star reads Team Amanda. Above it is the Not Quite Write Submitted banner and below it is the link to notquitewriteprize.com

Well, I have a draft for the #NotQuiteWritePrize Write Off! Needs some work, but I think I'll stick with these prompts.
So @notquitewrite.com can we say which team we're choosing, or is it meant to stay secret until judging?
“From being chased by mutant daisies… to tasty Martian rock-food. Meeting you has been cosmic.”
Astoria draws Bertie close. “But Murphy’s Law suggests this is all too perfect…”
Bertie gulps.

Woohoo, I've written my first draft for the #NotQuiteWritePrize. Spot on 500 words, but of course, there'll be lots of edits ... there always are! I just need to remember that the new submission deadline is 1 minute to midnight on Sunday (AEDT). 😉 #writer #writesky #writing #flashfiction #shortstory

The Bridport Prize is an excellent option - it's really well established. The comp I'm entering this weekend is the 500-word #NotQuiteWritePrize. 2 sets of prompts to choose from!
Yes, writing is... a torturous joy!
Ok... ok...
I mean, I'm in, and I think I have an idea percolating away. We'll see what happens.

Astoria’s impressed with his food-forest planting, and Bertie jumps (three times higher) for joy.
But he quickly falls back to Mars. She’ll leave him when she discovers his terrible secret.
