Photos, Flash Fiction or Six-Word Stories can create exciting writing experiences!

Happiness is a matter of perspective.

I'm always writing or thinking about writing. When I took these photos, I didn't know what I had in mind. One is a photo of the new and improved Coney Island in New York City. The other is  a photo of a late night NYC subway train that takes an hour to reach its final destination. Both experiences created a sense of happiness last time I visited. I decided to write a six-word story (listed above) based on the two photos so as to get started because thinking too long and hard leaves the mind in a muddle.

Writing a story begins with a thought. In a split second, you know what a story is about. The challenge is writing in some logical order. One way to approach writing is to start with what you know & keep it simple. You might find the following thoughts useful:

• Keep it simple. That's where flash fiction or six-word stories can be helpful.

• Visit http://www.sixwordstories.net.

• In six words, create a story of your own linking the two photos (above).

• Try writing an original six-word story of your own using your imagination or your own photos.

• Think positive, relax, and experiment. If you don't like your writing, junk it.  If you really like what you wrote, post it. The idea is to get writing, even when you think you don't have much to say.
