Btw, I'm running late bc of an after hours work release. Let me if there's any issues with the zoom.
It's working fine. Thanks.
If you guys are interested, here's two of the flash fictions I posted on Reddit. The second of the two is the one I used in my experiment with AI and got wildly different feedback depending on my framing. https://www.reddit.com/r/shortstories/comments/1lda1cq/comment/myr0zpw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://www.reddit.com/r/flashfiction/comments/1oy9a7c/harvest/
Both of these are great. I like how quickly they escalate and resolve. I'm curious, what is your writing process? Are these done over one session or refined in multiple sessions?
Thanks. These two are a little different than longer works I've done because they're intentionally capped at 300 words, but the process is more or less the same with a difference in how I iterate (I do more bouncing back and forth between new content and revisions for longer works) For these two, they both started with a clear idea: the first started with the opening lines, and the second started with the last lines (while I was driving home and listening to a podcast, no less). I then worked out from there in a single writing session, trying to build around the idea, keeping the word count cap in mind, but not being overly fixated on it. Then I went over it a few times over the following days, tweaking and being very fixated on the word counts, taking some words from one place and putting them in another (sometimes, the early description is a little too wordy and robs me of words to use to land the ending)
The constraint is kind of fun because it really forces you to think about what you're trying to communicate. It's also nice for times I'm really not in the mood to work on longer projects because it's definitionally bite-sized; kind of like TDD in that you're forced to only write as much as will pass the test
I can "get to green" on that one test (story) and feel like I've accomplished some project
very cool, thanks for sharing
