This is a reposting of my response to the original blog post:
As a self-published author I know depressing it can be to come down with a dreaded case of Writer’s Block, for I suffered from it numerous times as I wrote my debut novel, a MG/YA Paranormal romance.
However, I found a solution which got the creative juices following inside those little grey cells of my mind, time and time again. The solution was for me to write a 5 sentence Flash Fiction based on a prompt given by the website’s host [this site is unfortunately not running any longer.] And to make the task even more challenging, occasionally I use the prompt word to form an acrostic where the first letter and each subsequent letter[s] of it would form the beginning of each of the 5 sentences I had to write.
To better understand what I am saying I invited you to check out the preview pages of my second book, “Micro Fiction – An Anthology” which had been compiled from the Flash Fictions I had already written, plus new ones, some longer than 5 sentences, with the longest one being only about 390 words long.
it was indeed a great share. thank you
