My last blog was about micro-fiction.

Today I go a step further, with tips for writing your own tiny story.

As with all writing, begin with a hook—an attention grabber.

Then, focus on a single event or moment in time.

Use vivid imagery to stir the reader’s emotions.

Limit the number of characters.

Limit the number of words—somewhere around 500.

End your story with a statement that will leave a lasting impression.
