Interesting program.

Good advice; also, Steven Pressfield’s “The War of Art” is worth reading for avoiding issues like this.

Wow! All four readers wrote powerful ideas. Each one moved me on a personal level. Can't wait to hear a completed book.

The joy of fiction writing: I like fiction writing because you can write without disrupting the right lives of your subjects for example me and Jasmine had been married for 10 years the traditional American Dream her being prom queen and me the varsity football star but one day our son discovered my shotgun and accidentally killed himself, our marriage dissolved in a divorce

Love your video as you gave a lot of useful and insightful tips. Will be using some of it for a flash fiction that I am working on.

Flash Fiction, much like Drabble and any short stories format, are as abused as Haiku. There is nothing wrong writing them but short doesn't mean easy. It needs substance! Short stories that act like idea or description of escaped events are valueless. I would use this format for draft. I believe this format works better for humor.

Thanks very much, very good info. I liked your suggestion about journaling about the project! I have a story I have been struggling to finish and I think thats just what I needed.

blessings!

Thank you for sharing! Awesome readings!

I have an idea for a flash fiction story. In fact, it's not yet even a full idea but just a basic concept and idea for the ending. I've never written anything before and I'm dumb as a box of rocks. What do I do next?

Great voice.. Great information. 👍

Great video. I'd love to hear someone discuss the things to consider when deciding which viewpoint and tense to use when writing narrative non fiction. Any suggestions? Thanks.

What happened to all of the INFJ videos??

Reading aloud.... that can be fun!

I thought he was Ben Afflect for a moment

I love the idea of having to write many drafts. The heart of my story is revenge. It seems that Flash Fiction could almost be a blurb at the back of the book, that introduces a reader to the story. Would that be accurate? Anyway, I'm gonna give this a try. I've been wanting to solve a story dilemma for a while. This may have done it! Thanks!

So much useful information packed into 6:34 minutes! The last half of the video defines the process so clearly. Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Very illuminating

Any advice on how to write a book on the philosophy of history? As in something that is more of a broad-scope, and generalist (i.e. something akin to Toynbee).

Well done! You make the important point that they're not so easy to write, almost always require revision. And you could point out the many fine examples to be found in the three (named) Flash Fiction anthologies, published by W.W. Norton. Books made for students.

this is helpful

Interesting, I for one want to hear more of you talking about this.

Thank you for this genuine guide ♥️, it really helped pave the way for my first flash-fictions... but do you ever blink?

This would have benefited from clear examples of each of your points and links to the external resources you mentioned.

NICE. If I wanted to take this course, How do I go about it.

Terse and informative! My takeaway : "Only capture the pertinent bits of a conversation on the page."

This sounds great.

Very interesting

Combining meditation and writing sounds interesting, especially since I'm fond of both. I meditate to gain control over my emotions. I suffered panic attacks as a teenager. I continue to battle social anxiety. I learned early that what I draw attention to is the cause of both. I use meditation as practice to controlling what to be attentive to. Whenever I feel anxious, I draw my attention to my breath. On the inhale, I focus on the air rushing into my nostrils. On the exhale, I search for any tension I can find in my body and release it with the air leaving my lungs. I continue this cycle until my mind is calm and all anxiety has left me. Since I like to both meditate and write, I will experiment. Too bad I don't live nearer. The workshop sounds interesting.

Great Video-

I attended this class and it was very worthwhile.
