The publisher said Friday. She heard the letter drop into the box as she paced a hole in the floor.
She sat in the hall staring at the box. Gingerly, she lifted the flap and took it out to read each word in slow motion.
Elated, she ran upstairs shouting.
Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”
Welcome to February’s Hot Flash! Banish those winter frosts with this month’s word: Elated. All Hot Flashes have a 50 word limit and this one comes in on the money.
Don’t know what a Hot Flash is? Visit the Flash in the Pan page to find out how to get involved. (Link under the header.)
CONGRATULATIONS!
Everyone should already have their free copy of the fall Flash in the Pan, but did you know? The winter Flash in the Pan is available now! Both books are available in paperback as well. Start your collection today!
What did the letter say? What is the best letter from a publisher? Have you ever gotten one?

/ February 2, 2013So good, you nailed it. I struggle with 75 words, I don’t know how (or if) I will ever do 50. Eeek
You know I am you biggest fan (no that isn’t a size thing).

/ February 2, 2013I’m in! I plan do do all of the flash words. This challenge offered me a new way to write, and taught me how to condense an idea with a beginning, middle and end into few words. It has also helped me in conversations when I am boring people with too many details! haha

Tess Kann
/ February 2, 2013I love ‘she paced a hole in the floor’. Feels like its so thin she’ll break through any moment. Her anxiety and the significance of pacing is palpable.
I feel the tension.
