So much of the flash I'm seeing amounts to a bucket of metaphors in search of a story. Learn to master the silence. Came across this wise craft piece on writing flash fiction by Cathy Urich.

ABCs of Flash Writing: Q is for Quiet - Spry

Q is for quiet, for the spaces between the words. In music, you’re taught play the rests. That the moments of silence are just as important as the moments of sound. The same is true in writing,...
