This week in class was a continuation of flash fiction but instead we focused on devices found in flash fiction and how to identify them and how to apply them to our own works. We read a few things that were on Oncourse such as Fireworks and Burnt Toast and we did the exercises that belonged to them.
I find this type of writing more challenging than writing poetry. This is really only because I have no experience with reading or writing flash fiction. It is good practice to do the writing exercises from the readings on Oncourse and to do the activities given in class. I find that my writing is improving but I can still use more help and practice. Flash fiction is very enjoyable to both read and write and I really like what we are focusing on. The only thing I really want to work on is how to make my story more interesting with the details that I give. I need work on that.
The artistic process itself is extremely challenging when trying to find and decide on a topic to write your flash fiction on. There are so many things I feel I can write about that I find it hard at times to choose just one. And then once I choose that topic, it is still difficult to know exactly how to write the story to make it sound the way I want. I have all of these tools but I still am very rusty on understanding how to use them properly. It is a challenge and I am working on it but I find this process a very difficult one.
