Bottled goods sophie van llewyn

When I was writing my novella-in-flash, Bottled Goods, (which comprises fifty-one flash fictions), there was nothing that made me avoid being repetitive, and stimulated my creativity more than trying to put a kernel of truth in a different form - like a table, a journal entry, a postcard, or a list.

And because of its brevity, flash fiction is particularly suitable for unusual forms.

It doesn’t have to be the traditional weaving of exposition, dialogue and description. Or, better said, you can define flash fiction as what it is not: static, a vignette, or a scene.īut there is more than one way to create a story arc. There are many definitions of flash fiction - but they all agree in at least one point: that flash fiction must have a story arc, or that it must convey a sense of movement.
