I Write Micro Fiction
L.P.C. Posted: Tue, May 29 2012 10:36 AM Reply

Though I dream of writing best-selling books, I fade away when writing them. 

Recently, I learned about micro fiction. I thought this could be the medium I'll hone and master to achieve my dream. Thus, I write micro fiction.

Very short stories. Anthologies. Could work. Who knows?

I've been writing very short stories for years but I never knew it to be called "micro-fiction"! Thanks for the information and websites you listed. 

Good luck!

Micro fiction and flash fiction are virtually the same thing, are they not?

Hi Tiffany,

From what I've read online, they're the same.

From my perspective though, there's a difference. It's the word count which I put at 100 words. It can be less but not more than 200 maybe. Beyond that, it's flash fiction.

I make this distinction to maintain my focus and motivate myself to write. If I think of the 200+ word count, I'll run out of words, tell myself I can't do this anymore.

I'm new to writing fiction seriously as a vocation. I want to start it short, maybe just keep it at that and be an expert and a best-selling micro fictionist.

Hope I answered your question...
