    Thank you for all your advice and list of writing markets. Just wrote a thousand-word story and wondering how and where to publish it. It is a bit raw and needs some editing.

    Very interesting lens. I had heard of the term before but had no idea what it meant. Thanks for enlightening me. I'll be checking out some flash fiction in the very near future.

    Thank-you for this lens, i was wondering what flash fiction was. I have seen the word used all over. Very helpful lens.

    I enjoy reading flash fiction. I wonder sometimes if this is because of my shorter attention span that seems to come along with the aging process. I think short fiction is also a good example of great writing talent in its use of few well-chosen words to tell a well-written tale.

    Interesting. Is there any sort of real money to be made with this or is it more of just a hobby?
  • LindaJM Jan 10, 2012 @ 3:32 pm | delete
    For me, it is writing practice. Sometimes I post my stories to my blog. Eventually I'll make a book of them and put them on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. So I'll probably make money, though I don't expect it to be a lot.

    Vestal Review pays its writers. I had a whole novel in flash fiction, My Life at First Try, and was paid quite nicely for it.

    This is a genre I have just learned about. I find it quite interesting and am formulating story ideas. Thanks for more insight

    Good ideas here! I write flash fiction, as well. I have entered my work into a contest recently.

    I have also written flash fictions and I enjoy very much when I try to maintain the word count. Some of my flash fictions are less than 400 words, but I have never tried to write under 200 words. The links you have provided here seems to be very useful. I will sure check them.

    Great idea of writing short stories. I think it should help to develop creativity. Surely, I will try it.
  • CAMpics Jul 17, 2011 @ 11:46 am | delete
    Thanks, enjoyed the read. I write 'shorts' too.

    Not sure if this qualifies as flash, but it's a favorite:

    Wow! I've never heard of this. My friend is working on her literary fiction pieces and we talk about her writing all the time. This will give me a new topic for tomorrow.

    love it! And I love microfiction (that is what i call it). I would love to someday have a "book club" where people wrote microfiction and got together to discuss it. There is so much room for interpretation - it can deep really quick!

    Excellent Squidoo!

    I hadn't heard of flash fiction, sounds interesting. Certainly something that might help you to create things when you're stuck.
  • GramaBarb Sep 26, 2010 @ 10:33 am | delete

    I'm very excited about this genre -- which I just discovered but know very little about. Your lens is a great guide and I'm bookmarking it for future reference. And blessing it NOW.
  • LindaJM Sep 22, 2010 @ 4:54 am | delete
    Thanks, Resabi! Your blessing is a great thing to wake up to this morning! I hope the page helps many writers to experience the joy of flash fiction!
