I suppose we all do, some more than others, since here we are on myLot. I have mentioned before that I write poetry and submit a lot more than ever gets published, but what the heck, it keeps my brain working a lot and I enjoy...

Does anyone here read short stories, the flash fiction type?

Thanks to all those who commented on my last post. Rather than write the same thing over and over I'll tell you the answer here and add a bit more. In the photo Australia is back to front so the west coast is on the right and the...
