Jumpstart your own short read during the year's shortest month!

What is Flash February?

Flash February is a FREE pop-up newsletter hosted on Substack.

This semi-daily newsletter is designed to provide you with small pieces of writing inspiration, motivation, and guidance as you build your flash craft muscles!

How does it work?

You’ll receive a fresh writing prompt in your inbox every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, starting February 2nd and ending February 27th.

The weekly schedule looks like this:

• Week 1: Searching for stories
• Week 2: Reflecting & dreaming
• Week 3: Exploring form & structure
• Week 4: Playing with constraints
