FRIDAY FICTION with RONOVAN WRITES
With decades of writing behind me and daily learning of how to be a better writer, and by daily, I do mean constant, I wanted to give a way for current friends and future finders of this blog a way to push themselves to improve as well.
Through this challenge my hopes are:
- you will find your voice
- step out of comfort zones to discover a genre where your talent truly lies
- perhaps make connections that will help you become a better writer
DEADLINE IS:
23:59 EST Wednesday. I will then have Thursday to complete reading the entries and compiling the links and such. I do read all entries. You can ask any of my Haiku Challenge family/community members.
I DO ASK THAT YOU:
- Keep it PG as all ages do follow the blog and may click through and read the entries. (C0ntinue for exceptions.)
- If you do write a piece of fiction that goes past the PG level, copy the link into the comments of this post and make a note of it being such and give the reasons you think it is, such as violence, sexual content, language/profanity.
- No violence toward children by adults or predatory aspects toward children. I know you may have two kids have a fight. I get that, but I don’t want gratuitous violence such as glorifying bullying. Also I can see you having a kid kicking some bad guy in the face for some reason. I get it.
- No sexual assault against anyone.
WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR WORK OF FICTION:
Copy and paste your URL in the comments of the challenge post, or do a ping back to this post. This does not mean you must share a link today, Friday, just because the challenge says Friday in it. It means you must return to this post or ping back to this post.
A ping back is copying and pasting the URL of the challenge post into your post. That lets people know about the challenge, sort of, and is one way to let me know you’ve entered. Just make certain to visit back here to see your ping back is showing. Confused? Click HERE to see how to do a ping back.
If your blog is with WordPress, TAG your post as Friday Fiction with Ronovan Writes and in this way people may find your work in the WP Reader.
IMPORTANT!

PROMPT FOR CHALLENGE #6
Click HERE for STRIPPING for FICTION or HOW TO WRITE FLASH FICTION.
Challenge This Week: Write about a family gathering. I know that sounds like non-fiction but by writing pieces like this you tap into emotional and sensory experiences you use for other writings. An example of this would be a short piece I did quite some time ago called My Ocean, My Lover. No Word Count limit this week, just no book lengths please.
Ronovan Hester is an author, with his debut historical adventure novel Amber Wake: Gabriel Falling due out in December of 2015. He shares his life as an amnesiac and Chronic Pain sufferer through his blog RonovanWrites.WordPress.com. His love of poetry, authors and community through his online world has lead to a growing Weekly Haiku Challenge and the creation of a site dedicated to book reviews, interviews and author resources known as LitWorldInterviews.com.

Ronovan, I paid a lot of attention to eliminating the passive voice in this work. I definitely feel it makes the story tighter.

I wrote this one for Sacha Black’s challenge, and realise it fits this challenge quite well too.

This week I guess my story would not really qualify as PG. Besides, I am not sure whether I have breached your third rule. In any case I am adding the comment here and feel free to delete it if you think this is not in line with your recommendations accompanying the prompt.

Oh good then. It’s true that nowadays children and teenagers are so much more aware than when I was growing up.

You were not overt and obvious about the subject. And kids are taught a great deal about things these days, way more than when I was young.

Well way more than I was young too. I am guessing we are not too far in age groups 🙂

I was in two minds on which story to write as I had two stories in mind but then I had to give my laptop for repair and ended up on an android so I’m only now putting up the second story. I know it is not flash fiction but I thought I should put it here all the same 🙂

Ronovan, I didn’t post how much I’d appreciate critique. I love praise, but not at the expense of telling me how I can improve the story.
Thanks.
