Flash

aving spent a few years writing a novel, several months writing children's books on financial education, and turning out screenplay drafts in 20 days, the amount of time spent writing in proportion to the value of one's time comes into question. How much time do one's spend on a project? In cooking, as they say, a dish is done when it's done. Then again, how many dishes take three years?

While working on longer projects ideas for others pile up and collect dust.

Enough.

To kill two birds with one stone, I've decided to tackle 28 different story lines in the next 28 days. Each story will be a piece of flash fiction (ie, short stories of less than a thousand words, approximately four pages at the most). The shorter length should also cut down editing time. In the end, it should make for a novella.
