Fast food fiction
Wednesday, April 19th, 2006*sigh* I have not written in my diary for weeks now…what’s happening?
Well I just bought a new book entitled, "fast food fiction" a collection of flash fiction pieces by Filipino writers…And I have to hand it down to them…its a really good book…
And its my type of lit.
For those of you who don’t know, flash fiction is a kind of short story that is really really short..remember our high school days..when our teachers tell us to read a short story and we moan because we realize that this "short" story is actually 14 pages? Well that’s really the true short story… flash fiction (for conservatives like me) is strictly about 100 words..but some say it is less than 500. In the book it is less than 1000 because it seems that the writers couldn’t trim it down anymore. But I don’t mind. It was still damn great.
Flash fiction is something I hope will evolve…selfish as I am…well anyone can write…just try okay…its just sometimes lonely to find no one to talk to about literature. Good thing I have orgmates and blockmates who are positively bookworms like me. Because…one day…when we all die…what will be left of us are written reports, stories, etc.
I’ve always said that my dream in life is to be remembered in history as someone who contributed something good to mankind. A single book won’t hurt right?
Now where is my pen?…I have to start writing again….
