The Bookshelf Gargoyle curates a Fiction in 50 mini-narrative challenge – this month’s theme is Past Regrets! Everyone has something they are peeved about having (or not having) done, said or eaten – churn out a cathartic piece of short, short fiction, send it in and go and have a peek at the other entries – GargoyleBruce writes wonderful reviews on all sorts of kid lit (big and small) with a cheeky tone guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. Wander through the stacks, you are sure to find something you’ll like.
