Friday Fast Flying For Fun Fantasy Firm-Held, Fulsome Fists Fighting Find Freedom’s Fewer Friend,

Which translated from the alliterative language of opening salutations means: Flash Fiction is in the fray and flashing on its way — to you.

A new short story of flash fiction should be published right here quite soon — I’m hoping hours or no longer than tomorrow noon, but maybe sooner soon.

In style, “flash fiction” is a made-up (fictional) story of extreme brevity. There is no set definition of how long the shortened beauty must be, and certainly no proscriptive of what content or costume in what length it must wear. This group of writers will say no longer than 1,000 words, the critics over there will go 2,500, and the masses of readers land somewhere between the two. Suffice to say, the fewer words the better, if you can get the meaning, and in reading find the content appealing — or at least that to draw a smile and corner a muffled laugh.

To change the subject from that of your near-awaited attention (the story of flash fiction you soon will see), Chapter 1 of the novel is still in the works and about through its first draft run. The question I face is one of serial publication here, starting with Chapter 1, before the rest of the book is done. To do or not to do? If I do, the first chapter may be rewritten as we move forward and the rest of the chapters develop to bring the story to fruition and its final fated scene. I am challenged by the challenges of this overall approach, or failure to approach, the thing until it all be completely done. Sometimes, uncertainty in the future is certainty in its present place. I believe I believe that, but you’ll have to wait and see.

So say tuned — as always I know you are attuned with ready will and waiting view. You never know what might happen and appear on this, the scene, to be seen, and in what form, time and place found, that it too may be viewed.

Though the words be long to this point in prose, the flash fiction will be short in its pose, and soon in words right here for you to hold.

Thank you and good waiting to us one and all,

Grandpa Jim
