Cheers for stopping by my page. Love the idea of the two paragraph limit – necessity is the mother of invention, after all!
thank you! Yes, writing them has been quite an adventure.
Hi there, I’m a pretty new blogger and just stumbled across your site when tagging flash fiction. My own stuff is generally a bit longer than two paragraphs (though still flash fiction) but I have quite read a few of your stories now and admire how much you get across in just two paragraphs. I look forward to following you 🙂
Thank you so much for reading. I just started about a month ago and writing these stories has been quite a challenge. If you do write any flash fiction in two paragraphs, let me know an I can re-blog your story here!
Thanks for checking out my blog. My fiction isn’t necessarily two paragraphs, but I, too, appreciate the challenges of writing short fiction.
Really cool concept for a blog. I like what I’ve seen so far… Where are you from? 🙂
thank you for checking it out. I like your writing as well. I’m currently in Los Angeles.
Have you spent time in Asia at all? I lived in Taiwan and Hong Kong and miss them both.
Well I grew up in China till I was ten. I’ve been to Hong Kong, but never to Taiwan. I hope to visit some day though. Where are you located now?
I’m now in Northern California, where I’m from. But I want to go abroad again and to see more of Asia, specifically. It’s such a different world over there. 🙂
Nor Cal is nice. I was up there for school for four years. Love the weather. Yeah, Asia is something else altogether. Have you visited China yet?
No, the closest I made it to the mainland was Macau, unfortunately. Definitely want to head back for that alone. I have friends who are teaching in China. Which part are you from? Is your family still there?
Xiao Niu, Thanks so much for visiting my blog, for following, and for the feedback on my stories, it’s much appreciated. i am also now following you – I love your site and I am inspired by the two paragraph story brief. I may send you a submission soon 🙂 Donna
