Get Inspiration With Flash Fiction

One thing that has always inspired me is going to bookstores and reading the back descriptions of all of the books. There is something truly inspirational about being in a room with all those unique voices. Unfortunately, I can't get down to the bookstore as much as I would like. Thankfully, I found a wonderful little website which has helped me find a solution to this problem. It's called Everyday Fiction. They send a flash fiction story to your email every morning. It takes less than a minute to sign up and they send you great little stories from a wide variety of genres. I try to read them first thing in the morning before I work on my own writing for the day. Even on my days off I find that I read them while I am waiting for my coffee at the coffee shop or when I take my dog to the dog park. They are a good reminder that a story can be great at any length.

If you are someone who enjoys writing flash fiction, then you might be interested in the submission section. They take submissions up to 1,000 words on any and all subjects. I did see that they only pay three dollars for each story, but they will include a link to your blog or book at the bottom of your piece. That is worth its weight in gold. Just think how many more people would buy your novel if they had a chance to see what you're writing was all about.

I think you will enjoy these little gems as much as I do, and I hope to see your flash fiction cross my email soon.
