Flash

Last week, J. A. Ironside sent me a link to a blog which celebrates Flash Fiction. She'd entered a piece and suggested I give it a go. She also posted the link on our writing website, and a flood of fellow writing types poured entries, all under 500 words, into the people asking for submissions.

Well, today is National Flash Fiction day, and the pieces are being posted throughout the day. Mine is here, with a slew of good ones are. 

They show a huge range of topics, styles and themes. Some have got it down to much fewer than 500 words, which is, frankly, astounding to me and my long, sprawling prose. My piece for our next RASSSA anthology is a great deal longer than any of these!
