The Exciting Future of Flash Fiction
The possibilities of flash fiction as an art form are infinite.
Hello hello hello, my brother and sister writers. How’s the constant content flow going? First a few words about the battle that is raging at my Twitter account. For the past few days I’ve been twittering around every 10 minutes for several hours. These are the results. Although I have not been as active as usual on my Triond account, I still get around the same number of hits. That’s good in that I’m not going backwards, but it’s bad in that I’m not going forward.

I noticed something else, too.
I can tell when Twitter refers anyone to my blog. I can’t tell when Twitter refers someone to my Triond account. I need to know what the results are of all this Twittering. So, I will no longer put links in the tweets to articles and flash fiction in my Triond account.
My blog is much more glitzy than my Triond account anyway. People will return again and again to the blog. There are many more attention grabbing things to read and see on my blog. So, that settles that.
Now, back to flash fiction.
Because flash fiction at its very best implies what is really going on, I always like to say that the story doesn’t take place on the page or on the screen but literally takes place in the imagination of the reader; the flash fiction story’s possibilities are limited only by the skill of the writer and the imagination of the reader.
This is why the possibilities of the flash fiction story as an art form are infinite.

Twitter is definitely a promotional tool. I’ve had a Twitter account for a few years now. The trouble is I find most users seem to only use it for that purpose alone and don’t actually ever tweet anymore. One ever rolling advertising page, which few even look at. But then that could be just me – lol. It could be different for you & others. All the best.

You sound like you are busy! Flash Fiction does look very interesting, I’m aware of it but not actually tried to write it – and as everyone else says – don’t wear yourself out!

You’re doing a great job on Triond. I hope you get lots of readers from Twitter.

I’ve only written a couple of flash fiction stories with not too much success. But I agree that there’s a bright future for flash fiction since readers’ attention span is getting shorter and shorter every year. Great post!
