FAIRYTALES WITH BITE
Flash Fiction Perks shares what I think are some of the advantages of flash fiction. Can you add to the list? (I do love a list… but then you will have gathered that by now). Flash fiction can be a great way of writing humorous incidents which, in themselves, would not be nearly long enough to make a standard story. And there are plenty of markets and competitions out there. What’s not to like?
THIS WORLD AND OTHERS
Fiction Feedback shares what I look for in a good story adjudication. I know, I know – another list! – but I hope this might help those trying to decide whether to go for a critique on their work or not. (And where you can get word of mouth recommendation from another writer as to how good Publication X’s feedback is, so much the better).
FACEBOOK PAGE/A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO SOUTHAMPTON WRITERS’ CIRCLE
I had the great joy and privilege of judging the Greensleeves short story competition run by the Southampton Writers’ Circle this evening. A huge thank you to all for the warm welcome and kind comments. Look forward to seeing your stories in print in due course!!
Whether you write flash fiction or other kinds of story, brainstorming sessions are invaluable. I have, less often, used them to generate ideas for non-fiction work. Image via Pixabay.
