Over the past month, I have been pulling some stories out of mothballs, pieces that never sold, and whittling on them.<BR/><BR/>I haven't been trying to turn them into flash, although one, at not quite 1300 words went that route very fast, but I have been looking to tighten, with an eye to flash standards.<BR/><BR/>The result is, I think, amazing. I believe that writing flash is making me a better writer, overall.<BR/><BR/>K.C.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I got an e-mail just like that last week; my "waiting" pile is up to three stories now.K.C.
