Which of these soda varieties does the least damage to tooth enamel? Scroll down to find out if your guess is correct in this week's random truth![/caption]Flash fiction is a form of the short story that is very short, usually around five hundred words or less. Here are some tips when writing it:
- Keep the story to one specific moment. What gives flash fiction its power is its ability to vividly describe a particular event or moment.
- Stick to only one or two main characters. Because flash fiction is so brief, it’s best to stick to one or two characters because there is not enough time to develop more characters. Save stories with more than two characters for longer pieces, like short stories or novels.
- Be picky when choosing a moment for your flash fiction’s setting. Because there is only so much time to tell your story, its best to pick a moment with staying power. For instance, you could write about a person proposing marriage to his or her significant other, a character finally finding something important to him or her, or you can use this format to write about a particular moment in an ordinary day. If you go with the last option, find something unusual or interesting in that ordinary day. For example, say your character is taking his or her daily walk and sees something there that they don’t usually see. It could be a person, place, animal; the sky is the limit, as long as you can make it believable.
- Save your work! That way you can go back and revise it. Also, you can use the scenes you create in your flash fiction in longer pieces, like short stories or novels.
- Flash fiction is also a great writing exercise if you are stuck or do not have a lot of time to write. Give yourself a specific moment and see what you come up with, keeping these tips in mind.
- As always, have fun!
Happy Writing!

ReplyDeleteI was basically curious about if you ever considered replacing the layout of your website? It is very well written; I really like what you have got to say. But maybe you could include a a bit more in the way of written content so people might connect to it better. You have got a great deal of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you can space it out better?
ReplyDeleteThis information is really good and I will say will always be helpful if we try it risk free? So if you can back it up ? That will really help us all. And this might bring some good repute to you. The diet of human beings prior to the arrival of agriculture, technology and civilization is known as the Paleolithic Diet !! This Stone Age diet, in short, consisted of mainly lean red meat and vegetables. In this type of diet animal meat is consumed in large quantities and 45 to 65% of the energy needed by the body is derived from it. Over and over again, life expectancy studies related to diet, including by the World Health Organization (WHO), have concluded that Americans and Europeans would do better to eat more like third world peoples as the options provided by their additional wealth have most often lead to poor nutritional choices. This is the same basis for the USDA based their popular food pyramid in 1994 !! Researchers at Harvard have only suggested perhaps tweaking the food pyramid by replacing some dairy products and read meat with more fruits, vegetables, and fish while also emphasizing the importance of improving the ratio of “good” to “bad” cholesterol, Plus, exercise not only makes weight loss much easier, but also lowers blood glucose levels, decreases blood pressure, improved circulation, and increases one's metabolism. Good regular sleep patterns are also just as important. Diets based on USDA recommendations include DASH, American Diabetic Assoc, Weight Watchers, and Jenny Craig When children understand how important “real food” is and where the natural ingredients of our food come from, they will increase the general population's appreciation for preserving our natural environment and limiting toxins and polluting processes in our world. We may even trend back to the time when people stepped outside their homes to interact with family and neighbors in home and community gardens and block-party barbeques? Does anybody even remember how nice those days were?
