The secret to flash fiction | How to find story ideas

If you’re looking to write flash fiction (or any kind of story) that has an impact on your reader, this is the secret to how I try to do that.

CORRECTION: At 4:50 the word should be 'Saudade' not 'Suadade' I got that wrong!

It’s not always possible or appropriate to have plot twists that are clever enough to shock or to move a reader, but speaking to them in this language of indefinable but universal moments is how I try to leave them feeling slightly different than when they found my story and that’s what I love most about writing flash fiction.
