Having been out of the loop for a while, I completely missed Every Day Fiction’s new Flash Fiction blog until recently, but it’s been a pleasure to catch up on the entries over there. Flash Fiction Chronicles, edited by EDF regular Gay Degani, is exactly what it appears to be: a blog focused completely on the art and phenomenon of flash fiction.
Start with Gay’s own post ‘Flash by Defintion‘ on what flash is, and isn’t, by way of introduction. From there you might want to check out the posts from the EDF team that originally appeared in The Best of EDF; Jordan, Camille, and Steven each sharing their own perspective on Flash Fiction and on the fantastic first year of EDF’s existence. But there is a lot more, posts from EDF regulars like K.C. Ball, Oonah V. Joslin, and Sarah Hilary (among others) ranging from story analyses and nitty-gritty dissections of the craft of writing flash, to personal anecdotes and words of inspiration. I think the blog is off to a great start, with something there for anyone interested in writing flash, whether they’ve never done it before or already have a dozen stories under their belt.
