I just sent in my attempt and was surprised at just how difficult it was to condense my ideas into a 200 word limit.
More difficult even than poetry which can be freed up by the form you chose to use.
But with fiction I found the constraints that much tighter. Which I did not expect. Makes it a great writing expercise though, that's for sure.
Has anyone else experienced this or do you find Flash Fiction easy to write?
Hi Constantin, I hope you do give it a try it would be intresting to see what you come up with.
Good luck Elizabeth and congratulations on making it through what is a tough exercise.
Hi Jennifer, just sent mine off. Great self editing exercise definitely but enjoyed it. Good luck everyone!
The Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata also compiled a lovely collection of miniature fiction called "Palm Of The Hand Stories".
Really a delightful read and a good source of inspiration for sure.
