Happy Sunday Morning. I’m getting very close to starting a new book, fiction this time, so my original posts are going to be coming a bit slower. But I was thinking this week about very short pieces. There was some kind of kerfluffle on Twitter, which I won’t go into, but the subject of flash/short pieces came up again, so I was thinking about good short pieces. What makes them work. What makes them not work. Here are a couple of mine I think work well, and links to a few essays I mentioned a week or so ago in my Substack on literary journals.
Excellent links, Paul. Thanks. And thanks for the kind mention!
Beautiful.
Great essays. At the end of the day, we just want to feel something.
Really great flash fiction. And I love a story without a moral.
Didn’t know Tommy was on Substack too! I just followed him. Nice to see the old lit mag crowd join here.
Great essays. Thanks for sharing.
