teacher, author, publisher and editor
from Edinburgh, capital of Scotland,
tells us on his Comely Bank Publishing page
LinkedIn was an online social media site,
a sort of Face-Book for business people,
where professionals and wannabes
would promote themselves,
also like on Face-Book,
with a section called Discussions,
again like Face-Book’s Messenger,
where in 2013 a challenge was issued
to post a 100-word story that following Friday
receiving only a couple replies the first week,
a dozen the next and within two months
thousands of entries arrived
prompting Gordon to create
his wildly famous website,
Friday Flash Fiction.
