i’ve been trying to write a novel for the longest time. it is NOT easy. especially when you end up with little lazy stories that would no longer go anywhere.
and then! i came across this!:
Short-short stories
What’s a short-short story?
Short-short stories are very short stories (typically under 1000 words). These stories are sometimes called ’sudden fiction’ or ‘flash fiction’, with ‘flash fiction’ referring to an even shorter type of story (typically under 750 words).
The short-short story form has been used by a wide variety of writers, both past and present, and from countries all over the world. Short-short writers have included: Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Yukio Mishima, Margaret Atwood, Italo Calvino, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nadine Gordimer, Peter Carey, and Jeanette Winterson.
