#tinymoment #flashfiction Video Prompts
It's fall and that means my Weekly Flashes program for October is rockin' and rollin'. With 17 participants from across the country, I have my work cut out for me each weekend as their story submissions come in via email and I send out the next round of prompts. Meantime, thinking about so many small moments and trying to incorporate other mediums and visuals into my daily life, I started a series of video flash prompts on Vine.
The way Vine works, these videos have to be short--perhaps a limit of 10 seconds--and the number of characters permitted per post is almost impossibly small. But I'm giving it a go, creating one video clip a day, followed by a suggestion or, in most cases, the first line of what could be your next flash fiction story. It's an invitation, a glimpse into how I blend what I'm seeing with what I'm imagining, all in the same moment. I hope you find these snippets fun and maybe one of them will even take hold and turn into a story for you!
