... with no Valentine's date to go on, why not have a go at winning £50 from half an hour's writing?
WriteInvite are holding a special this Saturday. Entry to their regular flash fiction competition is free, and the prize is a guaranteed £50 this week only.
The idea is, you sign up to take part, then at 5.30pm GMT on the dot three writing prompts are published to those who've signed up. You then have 30 minutes to write something using one of the prompts, and you must submit your story by 6pm or be left out in the cold.
A few days later a shortlist is published on site, then those who've taken part can vote for their favourite. Most votes wins. Go look at the site for full details.
Normally it costs £3 to enter and the winner gets half the pot, so this Saturday's competition is a bargain.
Would be great if one of you womag writers out there won it! You don't get long to write, so you'd have to free your mind and just go for it. But you might end up with something that could be expanded into a full length story...

Great idea but no good to me I'm afraid. I'll be on my way home from work then. It would be good though if the winner was someone whose blog I know.
5.30? Arrrrgh. Right in the middle of cooking-tea-for-a-load-of-grumpy-kids (and usually quite grumpy myself by then). I love the idea but, oh well. [sigh]
I would LOVE to do this, but will be spending this weekend with a friend I haven't seen in years. I wonder will she mind? LOL (Maybe I can get her to play too??)
How exciting!
I generally think and write at the speed of a snail climbing up a wall; Plus - George and I will be preparing our Sumptuous Valentine's Feast.
But certainly worth a go! I've never heard of these Flash Fiction comps - thanks again, Womagwriter!
Thanks for this. Can't get a babysitter tomorrow as was hoping to be wined and dined - but perhaps I'll have time to have a go...
I'll be visiting a poorly friend at the time, but thanks for the heads-up because I would have loved to play along. Next time, maybe.
Thank you for this. I have just registered and am really looking forward to it. I have told all the daughters, cats, ponies, husband etc that I shall be busy for that half an hour. Happily they are all as excited about it as me. (I'm not actually sure about the cats and ponies to be honest.) Many thanks again!
Being a tragic loser-in-love I may well give this a whirl! Sounds groovy!
Ta for the tip.
Ah! Methinks this must be a man who has settled on this time of the day.
Thanks - I'll be giving it a go.
Congratulations to Della Galton!
Being new to Short Story writing I had a shot at this it was great fun.
