Small joys in 100 words
A anthology of small joys from the past 6 weeks - both in everyday life and in fiction!
A while ago, when I was feeling a little despondent about life, the universe and everything,
encouragingly suggested that I write about daily small joys for a week, to see if I could re-discover my mojo.Every day for a week, write 100 words a day on the things that bring you joy, that refill your cup. Maybe finding new ways to talk about them will kickstart a re-engagement with the 7 things you choose?
And it really worked!
Not only did I feel less despondent, but it has also gotten me into the habit of writing more micro fiction - almost every day in fact. So this is a public thank you to
for the suggestion. Here are a few of the pieces I’ve written about small joys over the last 6 weeks in no particular order - some are pure fiction, others are drawn from everyday life.I hope you enjoy reading them. It would be great to hear from you. Comments and conversation are always warmly welcomed, as are likes.
Which story did you enjoy the most and why?
Do you write micro fiction? If so, leave me a comment, so I can visit your stack.

Say hi!
I love the premise of 'The Guest and the Secret' ... some lovely writing across the board; I love the breadth of your interests which come across in the ideas you write about. Brilliant to feel the joy ... it would be good to read a longer piece about the joy writing brings to you.
Thank you for the mention ... so pleased that the simple idea unlocked something for you, Debs. Have a fab weekend
I’m slowly catching up here, (definitely paying for having taken two breaks this summer) reading posts on Substack is the easy part though, trying to write something worth reading less so. 100 words, fiction or otherwise is such an inspiring way to do that though, I love that the subjects can be so diverse especially, as you brilliantly show Debs!
