Hello all! I created this blog because I like to write and think I'm pretty good at it, but as a "writer" I have proven to be the starter of many stories and the finisher of few... okay none. Recently, I have gotten into reading "flash fiction", which are self-contained fictional stories of around 1,000 words or less. They are really quick reads and most of them are pretty cool, but even if it sucks who cares? They take all of 3-5 minutes to read.
I have been wanting to get serious about my writing for years, and even have a few abandoned blogs to show for it. While on a break between graduate school semesters, I have decided to try my hand at flash fiction. It's kinda perfect for me right now, because it allows me to give my perpetually-overthinking mind a chance to vomit up a thousand-or-so words at a time with no real commitment or attachment to the material, and if they happen show any passing resemblance to an actual comprehensible story I can post them here!
I plan to use this blog as a writing exercise to sharpen my skills, and get used to the idea of sitting down to write a little bit every day. I really don't want to abandon my writing again when my next semester of school starts or any other parts of life get in the way, so I'm hoping this proves to be an effective work-around for that. Hopefully you will take the time to read some of my (very) short stories, offer some feedback, make suggestions on future topics, or even offer some of your own flash fiction. As my commitment to writing and blogging grows, I hope to start some more blogs for things like traditional short stories, my interests, and opinions.
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to check out some of my other blogs, and buy my latest book! (If you are reading this years after it was posted and everything went perfectly to plan)
