With horror especially, less is better.
...Thanks. With horror especially, less is better. <br /><br />I like the experimental nature of flash. Some editors want traditional story structure and some flash editos want you to really manipulate the form and stay away from the standard construction. I tend to like the abstract so the form works well.Cheryl Anne Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564041914501542048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-36137863521093281912011-06-17T09:43:19.705-05:002011-06-17T09:43:19.705-05:00I haven't been much of a fan of flash fiction....I haven't been much of a fan of flash fiction. I find the word count to be too much of a constraint as it hampers an author's ability to tell their tale properly. <br /><br />I've been reading more of it though as the style is popular, particularly with zine editors who want to save money. And yes, I have found exceptions. Some authors are indeed capable of telling a whole story within the confines of flash. <br /><br />Cheryl, "Doll Heads" is one of those exceptions. Great job. Considering how gruesome the contents of the bag were, it's probably best that the story wasn't any longer. ;)DEDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266406676643270732noreply@blogger.com
