    We have an author here posting some Flash Fiction which is something I hadn't really explored before. Any pointers on writing for this?

    I see this article about it, on wiki, and wondered if authors that have written these before could share some of their pointers?

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure I can offer anything as a suggestion, because I sometimes tend to be verbose and writing under the constraints of "word count" would be like strong winds keeping me from walking forward.  On the other hand, this technique would also be good for writers like me that write without word count in mind as good practice to include all of the elements of a story in a summarized but fluid experience.
