I don't know if my giving away a few books has anything to do with emptying my teacup but perhaps. I got the idea from World Book Day where they enlist others in an attempt to give away a million books. I thought, why not give away a few of my own instead of those of other authors?
I never much cared for the term 'flash fiction' as it seems to accentuate speed over quality. I don't need writing prompts nor do I wait for inspiration to arise. I just write. Whether my stories are amazing or not, I don't know. I appreciate you saying so although the way you put it has me ensconced in the past. I am still deeply involved with my writings on a daily basis. As always, I am happy to send you (or anyone here) an e-copy of my latest work if you so desire. People ask me where my ideas for my stories come from. I don't know. I sit down in front of my computer to an empty screen and a blank mind and in a little while it is full of words. Most of it is crap but sometimes I discover a few pearls amid the swill. Anyway...
