Your 55: Love it! If only I could write one just as good without so much dialog. Hm.
I'm a big Shakespeare fan and 'Brevity is the soul of wit' is one of my favorite quotes from my favorite play! Great to learn about Flash Fiction Friday. I teach high school English, so I think I'll start doing it in my classes. Have you heard about Four Word Film Reviews. I love these types of writing excercises, so if you know of any more, let me know.
Thanks,
Brian B.
