but instead thought I'd give y'all a look at a flash fiction piece I wrote this morning after seeing a writing challenge on Twitter. I hope you enjoy it. On a dreary winter morning, after a night of freezing drizzle, I carried my coffee cup out to the sunroom and glanced at the patio. There sat the frozen chaise lounge, waiting patiently for the sun to release it from its ice crystal prison.

Much better than any breakfast post would be. I like little creative writing challenges like this. Like I say of writing, it doesn't matter what you write, so long as you keep writing something.

I find these flash fiction exercises to be good practice.

@DWDavis They really are. I haven't done flash writing, but I do other exercises, and all of them "improve the process" as they say.

Lots of description there. It is sunny again here. No complaints from me.

It is sunny here and warming up slowly. We may get into the low 50sF today.

Very well said and that's how I feel when I look outside and see my frozen patio furniture.

You should take it up again. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.

Very well written. I can relate though I have to carry a mug of creamy tea. It is still dreary here in my neck of the woods.

It is dreary here in eastern North Carolina today, but it's too warm for things to freeze.
