L'aura del Campo

Back into flash (if I can ever figure it out)

I wrote two flash fictions. "From Norway with Love 12nov2019 (294w)"  and "Night Heron Shift Change" .

Angus has been kind to review both but I told him:

"Thank-you for your kind review. I'll need to add, now that the daily contest is past, that it's based on the account of a friend who knows lots about birds. It's a highly fictionalized account of a true event.

I do have a degree in biology (flowers not birds) ... which helps ... and I spend lots of time observing people and places when I travel which also helps. As a poet I try to include the senses.

One problem... I don't seem to know quite how to write flash fiction. This is more of a vignette than true flash. There isn't much of a hook and action narrative isn't my forté. But it gets me writing. "

So... I need help writing flash fiction!

In other good news:

I neglected my journal for 3 weeks! But, I'm now back to daily musings and scribbles. I'm on page 5,072.

I have put most of my postcards I sent on-line at facebook (cropped, addresses not showing, to... first name only). I'm slowly transcribing them here.

I had a daydream about becoming so spread out that folks could see right through me. Need to pursue this.

There isn't enough time left for me to ever catch up, so I just need to focus on doing something every day.
