The fiction in a flash challenge.
As of late there has been so much debate about chapter length and being overly wordy when it comes to descriptions, that I thought a nice flash fiction challenge would be great for June.
What is flash fiction? Well, for those of you who don't know, it's a very short story.
I think the true challenge for people is trying to figure out when enough is enough. You don't need to use 10,000 words to describe what Nick's face looks like or how a piece of cake tasted. It's just easier to use 10,000 words. The real challenge is to take those emotions and feelings and try your best to compact them into a small amount of words.
So, here is your challenge...if you choose to accept it lol
Pick one of the scenerios below and create a short story about it.
Keep it to 1,500 or less. (Usually flash fiction is less than 1,000)
Remember, a story needs a begining, middle and end. We're not talking about a scene that goes nowhere.
This can be any genre or any fandom or even original fiction, doesn't really matter.
Scenerio #1 - Someone gets lost.
Scenerio #2 - Someone is waiting in line for something
Scenerio #3 - Someone has just died
Scenerio #4 - Someone is very angry about something
Scenerio #5 - Someone is moving
Because these stories are so short, I hope you guys try more than one. Heck, I hope you at least try one especially if you are someone who feels like they need help in this area.
They are a lot of fun to do but it's also hard as hell lol
If you really want to challenge yourself try 700 words!
Good luck and have fun!
