Writing
I enjoy
writing short stories, creative non-fiction,
and personal essays, or
"short-shorts," and try to limit
myself to 1000 words, or less. Short-short
stories are also known as "flash
fiction," or "flash
non-fiction," and since so many people
access the internet by cell phone, I have
included shorter pieces known as
"micro" or
"mini-fiction," along with short
non-fiction under 100 words. Short pieces are
designed to be cell phone friendly, and easy
to read. Come back again for the next update,
and let me know what you think. Your feedback
is always welcome.
Stories are
listed in the order they were posted, with
the most recent ones appearing at the top of
each list.
