Flash Fiction

I have been away for a while from these lands. Have 'thankfully' kicked my arse and begun writing again. And for the umpteenth time in my writing life, 'I am serious this time :-)'

Firstly, I have decided to stop publishing my stories on this blog. For the simple reason that I know my audience extremely well. How their reader minds work. So I might as well save the thunder for a later day, when they all get to see the stories in print.

My style would mostly be flash fiction - very short stories (300 to 1000 words). Prolixity requires dedication, which I am short of. In a bid to meet fellow writers, I have joined the writers networking forum Caferati. Also have resolved to participate in all online story writing contests. A writer needs just one thing - audience. Further, I would be employing the services of a trusted friend to design, create and maintain a webpage, an online repository of all my writings. I shall purchase a domain name and since the larger idea is 'pay to read' it might well be a dot com.

So much for my grand plans. But didnt Kipling say 'All successful writers started as amateurs who did not give up'
