DISCUSSION
What details stick out most to you? Which version do you like best, and why?
EXERCISES
Take any story you’ve written that’s longer than five pages and try to make it into a piece of flash fiction, which we’ll call 1,000 words or fewer. Note: you have to first decide what your story’s really about so you can cut away the other material.
Take someone else’s story, and perform the same kind of cutting job. What decisions did you make and why? Was is it easier than working with your own material or harder?
