Sad to say, I should have seen this coming, but I didn’t till last night. D’oh!

1.) Smokey Mountain Breakdown – she’s posting flash fiction works throughout the month of February, and I have to say, what she manages to do in under 1000 words is freaking amazing. (Also, her Grandpa Alfie’s recipe for Wiener Schnitzel looks amazing too – I am so trying it.)
