Between the insane extremes of “Never revise your work!” and “You must revise your work a dozen times!” ...
...lives the sane middle ground.
Figure out what you imagined. Figure out what you wrote. Figure out what you want the story to become.

How To Write Flash Fiction that Doesn’t SUCK
Good flash fiction requires good storytelling...
And good storytelling is NOT stream of consciousness, slice of life, or free-writing. NOT just throwing words on a page and calling that a story.
The reason most people people think they hate flash fiction is because they’ve never read any real flash fiction. But if you know who O.Henry is, or Fredric Brown, or Aesop, you know what amazing things can happen in just 500 words.
They were masters of good storytelling… and that's what I’ll teach you how to write in this free three week class… Tell a GOOD story.
