Alexa Speaks at a Meeting

Hi, I’m a Ficletholic. I’m here because for an hour, I know I won’t check my account for comments or wonder why I didn’t get more stars. I know there’s no cure for Ficlets – but some are able to live without wondering about Challenges, Prequels & Sequels.

I tried not writing, but still had to find out if the Insane Knight got out of the Boring Forest or if Simon & Blake defeated the Apocalypse. I know this is a sign I’m not Ficleting “socially.”

I read on the bus, maniacally laughing at something only I can see on my phone. In conversations, I often think about what I’ve read. At home, I slink off to private corners to read the next installment in a series. My boss told me in hushed tones that it is unacceptable workplace behavior.

But I can’t stay away. I envy people who can type something & never check on it again, but I must accept I’m not like that.

I am writing to live and living to write. I have yet to work the steps. I was hoping for a sponsor. Does anyone know someone with a Broken Pen?

Prequels

Write a prequel

Sequels

Write a sequel

    Embrace the addiction! Ficlets are good for you (well, not if they get you fired, but still… creativity is awesome).

    Riotously funny material. I think my all time favorite line was the realization that you’re not ficleting “socially”. I nearly spewed half-chewed white chocolate macadamia nut brownies all over my keyboard. And that would have been a travesty, cause they’re really good. But still freaking hilarious.

    And also, it might’ve impaired your ability to type more Ficlets.
    .
    I’ve got problems, I know.

    This is hilarious! I too am a Ficletholic…but, as many people have so rightly said, it’s good to know I’m not alone.
