I'll sprinkle this posts with refreshing glimpses of cool water for anyone who might benefit. (Not all taken on my daily walks!)
A quick reminder - this is how this blog works.
Thanks to Alyson for sending the link to this haiku competition. The theme is sight, and the prize is $25 sent via Paypal.
Call for Submissions
Thanks to whoever told me about Poplar and Prose. Was it Fiona? Sorry, my memory isn't great even when it isn't melting! I got in touch, and was sent this – I’m looking for 100-word stories that celebrate summer — inspired by nature and rich in imagery. This could include stories about family, relationships, vacations, and summer memories to give you a few examples of what I’m especially interested in.
This is for Poplar & Prose, a literary lifestyle brand, featuring pieces that make the ordinary moments feel a little richer, inspired by good books and the outdoors. I’d love to highlight one or two amazing writers in August through a featured Journal post.
Authors always retain the rights to their work. I simply ask for non-exclusive permission to publish the piece on Poplar & Prose. Contributors are also free to publish elsewhere.
While I’m only able to provide a token .03/word payment, contributors will be credited alongside a short author blurb and linked work/socials if desired.
To get a feel for the brand, you can visit PoplarandProse.com.
By July 15 8pm EST, submissions, along with a 2–3 sentence bio, can be sent to: contact@poplarandprose.com
Thanks so much for your interest, and I look forward to reading about your summers!

Gosh those cooling pictures look great Patsy.
I’m not sure whether I sent you that info either!
Thanks to whoever shared the Welkin Genre Prize info. I’ve just been working on my two entries before heading along to run a children’s book swap at our summer festival. So glad I’m in the church and not on a stall outside.
Happy writing everyone!
Thanks Patsy. I'll be giving any project that wants literary fiction a miss. I just can't write it. The signs don't look good for FF.
I have a feeling that FF will end completely and Bauer will make the announcement in around a month's time. It'll be sad if this happens, but we can't do anything about it.
If we discover that this is the case, I'll have a think about starting a novel, although I don't feel this will prove to be a successful project. Sorry to be so gloomy!
