Yes, I am a little #hashtaghappy, but that’s because for the next 10 days I am working as a wrangler over at Carrot Ranch, hosting a Twitterflash party. Curious? We’re challenging writers to tweet a 99-word story in 11 sentences that are exactly 9 words each.
If you want to read some great stories, check out #Twitterflash on Twitter (and make sure you ♥ anything you like — give the writers some love, please!). Also, look for the #FFRodeo hashtag to see even more challenges that are happening all month long over on the Carrot Ranch. And come join the fun (psst, there are prizes!).
