the other day i heard this advice about writing short stories and I thought I'd share it. While most flash fiction authors have already heard this, its a good thing to keep in mind. "When writing a short story, the point is not the plot, or the action, or even the story itself. The main focus of a good short story is to convey an idea through a story. these events should be small, not anything that would require more space to convey. and remember, a short story is not a breaking news report but an editorial." I just thought you guys might enjoy this awesome advice I got from one of my teachers!!
