Flash Fiction chosen by Firdaus Parvez of Positivethoughts1

“Motherland” by Gareth Hewitt via Mash Stories

I loved reading this story. What I liked most was how the writer incorporated the three random words given, into the story. Blow-dryer, cockpit, honesty; random words so beautifully used.

“Helping Hand” by Miles Rausch via Mash Stories

I really had fun reading this piece. So vivid I could almost see it happening. And to use random words like ‘monkey’, ‘cathedral’ and ‘relativity’—amazing!

“Thud” by Jessica Franken via Micro Bookends

Just a hundred words and so much in it. The rhythmic use of onomatopoeia is simply amazing.

“We Rest on Thee” by Foy S. Iver via Flash! Friday

This is an amazing piece. The reader is sucked in—spiraling down with the character to his death. Brilliant!

The Power of Imagery with Nina Schuyler

September 12 & 13 on Zoom
Enrollment closes Thursday, September 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific

If your descriptions are vivid but your stories still feel thin, this workshop is for you.

Join award-winning author Nina Schuyler to learn the difference between description, which tells a reader what things look like, and imagery, which carries plot, character, and meaning at the same time.

In just two days, you'll learn to choose images that hold emotion without naming it, pair them so each one deepens the other, and build patterns that gather meaning as the story moves.
