Some weeks tend to open themselves up for a theme and this week's is closing out with another round of links relating to women in fiction.
Katherine Tomlinson posted a grand essay on her blog last night initiating Feminist Fiction Friday, where she celebrates women writing women. http://kattomic-energy.blogspot.com/2011/11/feminist-fiction-friday.html
Also from Katherine, I received a link to a feminist flash fiction contest that was being promoted on Nick Daw's blog http://www.mywritingblog.com/2011/11/feminist-flash-fiction-writing-contest.html
And here's a direct link to the Mooky site's contest rules http://www.mookychick.co.uk/feminism-politics/feminism/feminist-flash-fiction-competition-2011.php This is a no fee contest for under 200 words for a haiku, poem, or flash fiction. Deadline is November 30. There are cash prizes and yes, men are allowed to enter.
Stopping by SleuthSayers this morning I found an excellent essay by writer, Janice Law, titled "All Beautiful Girls are Murdered". http://www.sleuthsayers.org/2011/11/all-beautiful-girls-are-murdered.html
