Very Short Stories

[honeybites]

I believe that the true art in writing is really revealed in very short stories, such as ones comprised of a couple sentences or less. There's a great author on Twitter who uses the site's 140 character limit to his advantage by creating very illustrative stories within that limit. (I'm talking about http://twitter.com/arjunbasu if you want to check it out. Vanilla, but talent is sexy.)

It's a little disappointing that there isn't really a vehicle on Literotica for this. I started using Twitter to write mine. Does anyone else write short stories like these? Do you share them and where?

I write fifty-word stories.

I have to write them in sets of 15 to reach the 750 word minimum required to post them as a Literotica "story" but they can be posted as "poetry".

Here is one of my sets Earthy Fifties and my advice How-Tos How To Write A Fifty-Word Story and How To Plot Flash Fiction

If you look at the sub-forum of the Authors' Hangout you will find the 100 word challenges - too long for me.

There's so much potential in a sentence, really. They're underrated.

There should be a contest for these.

It's harder for me to work out one clear concise sentence than it is to write a 2000 word story!

Good one liar, I see great fortune in your future.

Hence the idea of a contest! It's not easy!

If so, Twitterotica needs a directory.

She packed her bags, she came seeking fame, but soon realized a dream not interpreted is like a letter that goes unread.

 

[honeybites]

Not now, she told the phone. Life needed her. There were adventures to be had. But there was still one thing she needed. She called him back.

 

[honeybites]

There should be a proper thread for this...

 

[Austin8]

I think so too.

 

[honeybites]

On it.

 

[Austin8]

Seeing how everyone likes to write I think it would do quite well.

 

[honeybites]

Okay, it's happened.
