Flash!: Writing the Very Short Story by John DuFresne

4.0

Admittedly I just read this cover to cover without doing the exercises because I wanted to learn more about Flash. I was surprised at how long some of the short stories were — a few pages. (I had been imagining them all a few paragraphs or shorter.) The exercises are generally good but some feel a little too proscriptive, as someone who writes mainly speculative fiction. Which is okay. There are plenty of other exercises.
