Have you ever tried Flash Fiction? Do you like to read
stories of less than a 1,000 words on your phone? Maybe you enjoy writing something
that can be tackled in a single afternoon?
I recently started getting into Flash Fiction more and
have found that it’s improved my writing over all. The great advantage I’ve found
to Flash Fiction is that it requires a writer to use a strict economy of
language, and only allows the use of words that absolutely have to be in the
narrative. All other superfluous material must be removed in order to literally
make the story less than a 1,000 words. Reading Flash Fiction also fits easily
into your day because you can read a story in a few minutes, whether on your morning
commute or waiting at the doctor’s office.
So what types of super-short-stories do you like to read
or write? Any examples of really great Flash Fiction authors you enjoy on the web?
