I remember the first time I wrote a ficlet. I was supposed to be studying for my English exam around mid December last year. Instead I was changing my buddy icon for AOL and came across one that read ‘Ficlets’. So I googled the name and came up with the site.

I signed up and clicked on the ‘inspiration’ tab. The window came up with a random set of pictures, one of which was a large grouping of dolls. This picture inspired my first story ‘The One With the Auburn Hair’.

Pretty soon I had a comment from someone who really enjoyed my story. She said it was emotionally touching for her and reminded her of her sister. I was so happy that someone actually read my work and comment on it. That was all it took. I was hooked.

My writing just took off from there. I was writing ficlets all the time and getting so much amazing feedback on my stories.

I’ve met some amazing people on this sight. Everyone is so talented and kind. I really hate to see this camaraderie go. Ficlets has been life changing
