If you obey all the rules,
you miss all the fun.
- Katherine Hepburn
When it comes to flash fiction you have to be clever.
There will be instances where you will want
to tell, instead of show.
One sentence may be all you need to explain a
sordid past as a stripper, hitman, or crooked banker.
Think of the tip
of the iceberg—
show us that, but not the entire mountain of ice and
snow.
You must be clever with your title.
Let your title do some of the work,
but don’t give away the story resolution with it either.
Perhaps the greatest asset for a flash writer is the ability to create
character through voice.
That skill is well worth exploring, and the
best exploration is either through just doing it,
or by reading what
others do.
EXAMPLE OF ALL THE ABOVE
