Hi Shelia, I’m going to check out the link you provided . I know it certainly can’t hurt to take a stab at flash fiction, I’ve just never done it. Everyone I know that finally gets into it, swears by it and talks about how much it helped improve their novel writing skills. I’ve never been good at brevity. I’m not going to be entering any contests, ‘but I do think I will give it a try. I’ll let you know how I like it. Thanks for the ideas and tips.

I love reading flash fiction, but they are difficult to write well. My efforts have not been good, but keep trying.

I agree Stacy it can be a difficult genre to write, but it sure helps me cut out unnecessary words. Keep trying and thanks for reading and commenting.
