I can be a bit of a writing nerd on occasions, so I tend to use my own definition of a Flash Fiction. :'D It's basically that is at least 100 words long (Anything less would classify as a Micro Fiction), but less than 1,000 words (1,000 is where the Short Story range begins.)

Thank you for this explanation about word count. I’ve never heard it explained before. I’m writing a short story with a Christmas theme I plan to publish next month.

Love this

Thank You!

Thank you. All those myths away. We're 'weird' enough if we express our creative impulse! Bravo!!

Thank you very much Julie for your kind, soul lifting and inspiring words. Keep doing more!

Hi Julie, thank you for sharing such a wonderfully uplifting message. You have a beautiful spirit.

Love this

I first heard you in I wish I Knew then Podcast. And hear I am now. Thanks I may try this

Where did these Rules or Standardisation come from?

Because I live in the USA

Hi, why is everything in dollars?

Wow great video and description of flash fiction!

I learned a new word today, 'ephemeral' - love it!! I am addicted to folders as well, order is important so you aren't constantly looking for things.

Thank you.

story of my life, thanks

In my free time I’m watching videos about how to manage my free time

Thanks for this timely message! I'm going to set aside time to write tonight!

I go to the library - it helps

Wonderful! Great to have it fleshed out. I've heard many writers talk about this. Mostly as advice for Pantsers. I've wanted to try it but wasn't sure about the practical bits. Thx!

That was very good information. I'm off to write a short story. I'm back; that didn't take long. What's next? I'll make a cuppa tea while I wait. Where's the scones with strawberry jam and cream? You what?

Do you have past year's prompts archived? Are they available in full? Thank you for all you do! I'm looking forward to participating this year. 🤞

There is nothing wrong writing short stories but short format doesn't mean easy. I would use Drabble to describe character thought/introspection or as a training form. Good thing this allow you to write the essential. I hate that some Drabble, those which act like ideas, could be extended into novels.

Thank you for this. You are spot on about the situation I'm in. You gave me motivation and inspiration. Cheers

I have just come up with a shortest story: a person walks up a mountain to find happiness, only to realize that it was where he started.

💥Perfect recommendation by YT on how to look at my current problem. This 'mixing-it-up' inspires me to integrate a few outside scope ideas/views into the rigid construction of a past event. I intend mix-up the parts of this otherwise chronological story as it pleases me to witness the whole story folding in on itself near the end. I'm also considering trying out mind mapping the main event of this short story to see how that can benefit the writing. All in all a nice youtube recommendation as I was thinking to talk to someone on how to creating a unique written narrative. Thank you Julie 💫

Me: going to make a flash fiction in English while my English is my 4th language and im very bad in grammar :(

Great voice. Great analysis.

Super helpful!

This was so helpful thank you

Hi Julie, enjoyed this video and signed up for the 5-day challenge. However, when I confirmed my email, it went to a broken link. FYI...

Love her! 🙋♥️

Very helpful thank you

I have written hundreds of short stories and have not published one.

This was some solid advice! I'm also stuck on the boring stuff that will lead to the interesting scene.

I like to think that I've written a few pieces of good flash fiction however they are probably just really short stories. IMO, to write effective flash, there must be something poetic about the story/prose.

I love reading (and now writing) short stories. This concept sounds like a phenomenal alternative to NanoWriMo for those of use obsessed with the short form.

Family events ... :-) Can't wait!

@5:42, yes especially if the publishing industry refuses and or neglects to accept/publish works from a given culture. That does then become the voice of that given culture so that people from that culture might break through the glass wall. I also feel that anyone can write anything about anything, folks who look at the details of the author and decide to discriminate against their works due to whatever label they put on the author are the bullies themselves. Sadly too many people have caved to the Politically Correct bullies.

Thanks for this.

Thanks

Thanks

thanks well understood !

Hi

Love ittt, finally explained simply without all this extra "should you do it or not" stuff. Since I am writing a zero draft I just wanted to know a bit more about it. Thanks!
