Mini-Interview with Christopher P. Mooney

December 1, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / Leave a comment

1. Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? Firstly, flash works for me as a reader because I don’t have as much time as I’d like to have, as I used to have, and flash allows me to still enjoy the escape of other people’s stories. As a writer, I enjoy … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Christopher P. Mooney

Mini-Interview with Eric Andrew Newman

October 5, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / 1 Comment

Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? I wish there was some kind of deep, meaningful answer, but really flash is just how I naturally write. When I started writing again about five years ago after a long hiatus, everything that came out happened to be around 1,000 words or under. … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Eric Andrew Newman

Mini-Interview with Jen Fawkes

Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? Flash provides me with the very thing – closure, satisfaction, the rainbow’s end – that long-form fiction dangles before me like an ever-diminishing carrot. I write both long-form and flash, but I always know instantly when an idea is best suited to flash. It … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Jen Fawkes

Why Take A Writing Class?

August 27, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / Leave a comment

For most of us, writing is a lonely pursuit. We squirrel away time from loved ones and friends in order to spend time with the thoughts in our heads, hoping to transcribe them onto the blank page. This is followed by lots of revision, more time alone with our project, only to hopefully find someone … Continue reading Why Take A Writing Class?

Mini-Interview with Eshani Surya

June 9, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / Leave a comment

Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? I’m a big fan of flash fiction that stays in one scene and digs into that moment deeply. For me, there are these moments in life where I can say: this is pivotal, I want to remember this, because it encapsulates so much of … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Eshani Surya

Mini-Interview with Thad DeVassie

May 25, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / Leave a comment

Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? Until recently, I have always described my writing life as that of a poet who gravitates toward prose poetry. But I’ve always felt like a fish out of water with my writing – not really a formal poet, not quite a fiction writer capable … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Thad DeVassie

Mini-Interview with Marcelle Heath

May 19, 2020September 30, 2021 / Tommy Dean / Leave a comment

Why do you write flash? What makes it different for you? I was working at a bookstore in the 80s when I discovered Sudden Fiction. I remember looking for other books like it, and not finding anything, until Sudden Fiction International was released. Then, in the 90s I found Micro Fiction. Amy Hempel’s “Hostess” and … Continue reading Mini-Interview with Marcelle Heath

Most of the biggest literary gut-punches I’ve had have come from reading flash fiction pieces.
