As you all well know, time is referenced alot as the major factor of writing challeges. When do you find time to write comes up alot but how much time does it take to write a flash fiction?
Have you written flash fiction?
Flash fiction can be a great way to exercise your writing but also to generate ideas that can be expounded into a novel length story.
Take a chance with Flash Fiction and join a 7 days, 7 stories, starting 7/7 focused around the 7 deadly sins.
Deadly Seven Challenge
Check it out, and let me know what your thoughts are about flash fiction and whether you do or dont?

I've had serious problems writing flash fiction - I tend to use characters or situations that invert or subvert tropes, which requires the time to set up the trope, then to make the inversion or subversion clear.
Of course, now I"m really sorry I missed the the challenge. Maybe I'll just run myself through it on the 8th of August.

it is my first shot at flash fiction myself, I find it a challenge to fit a story/ premise into 100 words or even 1000 words or less.

I love flash fiction. 3 of my 4 published short stories have been flash pieces. I think it's a great way to meld my love of language (and poetry) with my love of short fiction.
I will look into this challenge. Seems fun.
