Flash Fiction Month

Journal Entry: Wed Jun 24, 2009, 9:56 AM
"Flash fiction is fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended, lithe and muscular with no extra fat. It pounces in the first paragraph, and if those claws aren’t embedded in the reader by the start of the second, the story began a paragraph too soon. There is no margin for error. Every word must be essential, and if it isn’t essential, it must be eliminated."
:Kathy Kachelries, 365tomorrows

Flash Fiction Month is coming!

Find all the details Here @ Flash Fic Month on dA!

The much-anticipated first annual Flash Fiction Month is approaching so the FFM Team is bustling madly, getting everything ready for the big event.

This first event is very special, as nobody else in the world is running a monthly event just for Flash Fiction. We are hoping that, if the response on dA this year is good, we can make it a global event next year!

Read the news article here, or have a browse through the FAQ.

There's also a tips article written by yours truly on writing Flash.

If you follow me, you're already aware that Flash Fiction is my writing format of choice. Have a read through my tips article to find out why, and then get ready to get involved. You'll be very glad you did.

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.

"If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you more often than I do.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put your wires in my brain"
Congratulations on your daily deviation! I've placed a link to it in the sidebar of my journal page. :)
