I’d like to get better at writing flash fiction. I’ve written some in the past, but I’m more used to longer fiction like novels, so I need to hone my skills.

Many thanks, Shawn! I like your idea that flash is more structurally related to a joke than to a novel. Proud indeed to be a part of your college paper. 🙂

This is very informative. Tossing some credit your way in a simple college paper. Here’s my thought on the paper, flash fiction is more closely related to a joke than a novel… as far as how to build it structurally and present it. I’ll probably be misquoting you and taking you out of context, so be proud there is a too old to be a college student man using your thoughts for a grade!

Thanks again

I was wondering if you have any advice on employing the Fichtean Curve for flash fiction. I’ve been using it in my other writing, but I’m a bit new to flash and I haven’t seen anyone talk about this specific type of outline for that medium.

Any other suggestions for where to submit? I read at open mics and the stories are very well received.

We teach narrative writing and I would love to have their short stories be Flash Fiction stories. You included what to leave out and that is vital!
Thank you!
