Contests and Content
Surfing around with my best friend, Google Search, I happened upon some interesting writing contests and a bonus: I think I've finally seen a definition of Flash Fiction. It seems to be a story of 50 words or less. I found a romance blogger who's holding a competition for such entries this weekend. I don't think I'll enter. The prize is a pair of socks hand knit by Bosnian refugees. Anyway, 50 words is scarcely a minimal conversation. What really put me off was the quality of the other entries. Most could benefit from Eats, Blogs and Leaves.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has truble explaining it! :)
And I don't believe "flash fiction" HAS to be 50 words. Most flash fiction mags I've seen define it was 1,000 words or less. 50 words is a poem, for the love of pete.
That's almost as silly as the recently-coined "creative nonfiction". 8-)
