When writing flash fiction, limiting myself to six words is fun and challenging. It made me realize how many words we use to convey even the simplest of messages. With six words I can tell a small story about myself unlike other writing. My word choice I felt represented my feelings and experiences in life well. I think the challenge of writing flash fiction is being able to evoke an emotional reaction from the reader as well. I want to make this connection with the reader and this inspired my process of writing flash fiction. The downside to writing flash fiction is how the six words can feel restricting, and it makes the process of formulating a message complicated. I enjoy writing the most when there are no word restrictions and I can better convey my message. I feel that while a six word message can have a powerful effect on the reader, so choosing the six words carefully is crucial in writing successful flash fiction.
