Learn how to write flash fiction. It's not as hard as you think! This guide presents a simple set of exercises that will demonstrate just how easy writing a short story can be. 

If you do the exercises, you'll have a piece of flash fiction when you finish.

Total lesson time: 30 minutes to an hour

Mary Robinette Kowal was a guest speaker on Brandon Sanderson's YouTube writers series. This tutorial extracts her instructions and information to act as a tutorial for learning to write flash fiction, or really, a story of any length. If you work through this tutorial and play along, I encourage you to visit the video on YouTube and catch all her details. It's a wonderful explainer and exercise bundled all into one.

100 Things You Should Know About Writing (Part 2) ni MishaGerrick
25 parte Kumpleto
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Part 2 of 100 Things. For those of you who've missed Part 1 (mainly dealing with the creation and sustaining of tension), you can find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/17586435-100-things-you-should-know-about-writing-part-1 Part 2 will mainly be about the craft of writing, or as I like to think about it, How to Be a Writer. I will however, veer off on tangents to answer questions or just because I want to, but I hope to be informative every time I do so. Cover image Copyright Misha Gerrick 2015 All Rights Reserved

A Collection of Random Stories ni atimaharathi_arka

Om Saraswati Namah..... A collection of short stories and fanfictions from prompts for various contests all around Wattpad. You must've run fast, tried very hard to catch up, but you always miss things. Something so great, if you had only known it, only done it, only said it, on time. So here's to celebrating all the stories never on time. And to whatever little growth I've had as a writer. Because in here are all my craziness. The first silly ideas, the ideas between stealing and adapting, and the ideas that have no business being together. You can find it all in random in a random collection of stories.
30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge ni stvnlra
31 parte Kumpleto
This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018

! Ｄｉｓｃｌａｉｍｅｒ! THIS STORY INCLUDES MANY MATURE SCENES, so please read at your own risk. And yes, there is an age gap. PLSSS vote if you enjoy chapters 👍 ALSO, I'm aware there are some grammar errors- if you let me know in a comment, I will fix it :) . Also don't believe there's a plot to this story 🤷‍♀️. ALL pictures used are from Pinterest (There's a good few more characters added along the way, so it might take a while to be too know who's who.) ᴡᴏʀᴅ ᴄᴏᴜɴᴛ: 75,000 (73,883) ♡︎ＤＥＳＣＲＩＰＴＩＯＮ♡︎ When Elaine doesn't finish her assignment for Mr. Madisette's class, he keeps her behind. He doesn't offer help with her work, but he does offer help for something else that's been on her mind.

"Hey kiddo, where are your parents?" I asked the little figure. "I ran away. They give lots bruises allllll the time." She answered in a small voice. I looked at her and saw myself, before Dad saved my mother and I from Him. "What's your name, sweetheart?" "Quinn." "Well, Quinn, I'm sure you're hungry, come with me and I'll give you something to eat." She took my hand and I led her to my car. ***** Quinn's unfortunate start in life has left her broken and scared. That's until Sam finds her, in the dark, scared and alone Trigger Warning: Mention of abuse: mental, physical and sexual. If you are sensitive to these topics, do not read my book. You have been warned. ~Trisha
