Rodeo #2: Pro-Bull Mashup

Pro-Bull Mashup Carrot Ranch flash fiction contest

Are you ready to ride another bull in the Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Rodeo? Now’s the time to write a 99 word story that includes the names of three bulls: Bodacious, Nose Bender, and Heartbreak Kid. And if you think writing about those is tough enough, just wait until you read the rest of the constraints. Just like bull riding, this one’s not for the faint-hearted. Are you game? Come on. Why not join in and have some fun?

      I think so too. I wish I had time to give it a go. Maybe I will went things settle down a bit, even though I won’t be able to enter.

        I’m still playing catch-up with other things, so I’m hesitant to add something new to my list.

          I know what you mean. I didn’t pull it off this week (and that’s no bull, as they say).

    Hi Norah – I agree with the other readers about how this is a bit tough – and I am actually going to have a go at it (I have some time after my meeting tonight – and I am going to see what I can get done… at least try )

      Good luck, Yvette. I hope you are successful. I’m too busy to even think about it at the moment. 😦

        I actually sat down and drafted one.
        I give it my output a B minus – but was the best I could do for the time I had.
        and I enjoyed it so much – I am so glad I hunkered down because I have not been writing much flash the last couple months – was trying to do it weekly – but had to pause because it was being forced – and a break was needed – you know how that goes – eh?

        anyhow, the mashup part at first was difficult but I found combining the elements actually structured my output.
        and wishing you a good day

          Have a wonderful weekend.

    There is a lot of depth to the simple phrase “bull riding” isn’t there?

    I think I got it, Norah, but I’m in Maui and going home tomorrow. I’ll read the criteria again then.

                    If I could do one more this week, it would be all for me this year. I got some personal business coming up in a few days that takes me way into November.🙂

      I agree, Robbie. I’m not sure if I’ll even manage a challenge this time. Let me know how you go with it. 🙂
