Feeling good with an acceptance of one of my short stories at an excellent online literary journal and that gets me geared up for taking advantage of this submission season.
Joining Fictionaut has put me in the groove with some really great writing that inspires and keeps me in the right voice and tone for some flash fiction in text style as well as hypertext work.
It seems that stories need be only as long as necessary, and all that rereading, rewriting, and vicious editing has helped me to say it in less words than my usual rambling manner. Poetic prose is great, but the idea is to use the imagery and brevity of poetic device to shape a world that still leaves much to the imagination.
