HOW TO WRITE FLASH FICTION

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.
