Flash Fiction--An Easy Way To Give Your Stories Muscle

Flash fiction is the best way I know to hone your craft. If, in less than 100 words, you can tell an intriguing story with a satisfying start, middle and ending, you are a writer. The key to excellent fiction is to convey, but don't tell. Good writing does not do all the work; it leaves much to the reader's imagination. Following is an example of award-winning Flash Fiction. Read it and get... (posted by Marty RicKard 1 year 334 days ago.)

If the Left Hates Sarah, She Can't Be Too Bad

Will The Real Mr. Obama Please Stand Up --- NO, The Real One

Will the real Mr. Obama please stand up! His meeting with Joe the Plumber discloses his goal to "spread the wealth". His TV ads imply that those who don't want to pay more taxes are "selfish".
