“My wife is a lesbian” is a short story idea I recently came up with. I thought it had all kinds of possibilities but I didn’t want to make the story a cliche.
How a writer deals with a story line will have a lot to do with whether or not the story comes out trite.
Now of course since I’m a flash fiction writer I was going to use the form of the short short and the very short story to guide me. And since I fancy myself a literary writer I was going to use understatement. Nothing over the top. I was going to use dialogue and everything I’ve learned from Hemingway and Raymond Carver, my writing mentors. And I was going to blog about it. Of course the story takes place in Pittsburgh.
