Oh my gosh I'm so excited! I'm currently working on a novel and a novella. This morning everyone is asleep so I couldn't work on those two and the urge to write was not going away so I pulled out a paper towel and wrote what was going through my head. 159 words later and it was completed. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do another one!

For those of you who write flash fiction how often do you write them? I can't wait to hit 50 posts to see if anyone else likes my first one. I will edit and polish it later when the family gets moving around.

Mainly I just wanted to say hi to the forum and say thanks for letting me ramble on!

Hi svader! I hadn't heard of Flash Fiction until I had been here a while. I don't seem to be able to keep myself below 1000 words,(the shortest piece I've written is 1,400) so kudos to you!

I'm sure more experienced Flash fic writers will chime in. Welcome to the cooler.

Hi Svader!

The mods here put up some great prompts and hints, and there will be a few of us willing to give some advice if you want to submit to the polished and ready sub-forum.

See you soon!

I posted it on the Other SYW if anyone (please) would like to let me know what they think. I wasn't sure if that was where I should put it but it seemed like the best place.

Welcome! I just found out about flash fiction myself at the beginning of this year; since the start of the summer i've been reading 2 pieces of flash fiction a day, but have yet to finish one myself.

A few ideas in the works, see you around! :)

I'm new to this whole flash fiction thing but so far, I really like it. It seems like a good tool for when I need a distraction from a larger piece of work and need a break from it. Or if I have an idea that is different enough from other projects and want to give it its own space.

Right now I'm doing a story a day and loving it. Next month I can go back and finish any that are incomplete and edit the others.

I am still working on my novella but it's nice to use these flash pieces as sort of a writing exercise.
