A Few Flash Fiction Tips
Flash fiction is a significant event given closure.
There are three kinds of closure: change in direction, epiphany and summation.
Dialogue is the best tool for bringing characters to life.
Don’t tell the story. Let the characters act it out.
Eliminate adjectives and adverbs.
There must be movement toward a resolution in the story.
Movement can be in the plot or in a character.
Movement can be slight: A to B instead of A to G.
A to B movement is more believable.
