In reply to crbwriter. Hello crbwriter, It's fascinating that you made the connection between flash and picture books! Yes, both are unique and challenging at the same time.

Thank you for this insight! In 2020, I started writing picture books (also under 1,000 words) and I love them for many of the same reasons. Both are truly unique forms--flash, for adults, usually without pictures; picture books, written for kids, but selected and read by adults.

In reply to Virginia. Virginia, Nice to meet a fellow flash writer! And a 100-word story every day? That's awesome.

I write a fair amount of flash. Lately I've been trying to write at least one 100-word story daily, in addition to other writing. I often include a piece in my newsletters.
