Welcome to the January Flash Fortnight!
The January Flash Fortnight will run from Sunday 15th January (Day 1) to Saturday 28th January (Day 14). Each morning during the challenge, I'll update this post with a new prompt for the day, so please check back if you find them useful! All of the challenge prompts will remain permanently available to you, so if you'd like to use any of them outside of the Fortnight, please feel free to do so.

Tips on using the prompts
Tips on using the prompts
Keep going in this way. You could free associate on the thoughts you're getting, or ask yourself questions on each thing: What is it about this that I'm drawn to? What would happen if I followed this train of thought to its logical conclusion?
Try not to censor yourself, or second-guess your imagination. In the end, the idea you end up with might be completely unrelated to the prompt - and that's completely fine!
Good luck!

and already sent it out again. 450 words. SF which I've never done in my life. I'm learning A) the more subs you have floating around, the less you have emotionally invested in each one and B) after the first rejection (ever) the following ones don't hurt so much. At some point, you have to just hold you head up and feel like: who was it that said something like "they just don't understand my genius." Bradbury?
