Flash Fiction Friday

6/17/2011

Today's flash fiction I set up the limits of :
1. It had to be no more and no less than 500 words.
2. It had to leave the reader wanting more, but still explain a situation - a serious situation - so that the reader could understand.
3. It had to evoke emotion.

With that being said, I think I've done that. I title this little piece 'Alone'. Do you think I hit my target this Friday?

So, this week has been another rough week personally. It's OK though, I'll get over it. I'm an adult and will continue to act like one, no matter how many people try to bring me down. I won't go into details, but will say it has absolutely nothing to do with my writing and/or my books; with the exception that it has helped fuel the fire in creating today's little ditty.

After a really rough week, I have decided to let the creativity flow from my brain uninhibited. Why was it such a rough week, you ask? Well ... I received an e-mail from Amazon on Monday stating customers had notified them with complaints that my book The Kindness of Strangers was filled with typos. After some e-mails back and forth between Amazon and I, I discovered it was on a version from June 2010 (one of the original uploads) that the complaints were made on. I was very disappointed.
I never hid the fact that the story was unedited. In the very beginning I had had over 20 beta readers read my story and I thought it was a viable product. I was so proud of it! After several reviewers notified me to say the book was so horrible they couldn't read it, I went through it myself and with a program called Grammarly (thanks to an AWESOME reviewer who allowed me to borrow her id and password). I fixed everything Grammarly had mentioned, and posted another version.
