@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:23 PM) okay saved file, and my auto backup will be archiving off site Yay!
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:22 PM) the sad thing is that most of these flash stories have the seed of a much larger story. riding herd is a real issue
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:21 PM) You should be able to catch up. =)
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:20 PM) Good =)
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:19 PM) I more to write and i'm only 2.5 days behind!
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:19 PM) TY TY! :D
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:17 PM) Gratz =)
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:17 PM) eureka!
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:12 PM) drat, it's at 150 but I want to add one more in a better place... delete one more...
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:11 PM) True, though I feel being slightly heavy-handed is more acceptable in flash-fic, because you kind of need to put some things clearly from the start, as you don't have much room to further explain. In a multi-chapter, there's less excuse for it, because you've got time and space enough to drop hints and let the hints paint the picture. (Then again, short short stories aren't exactly my strongest suit)
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:10 PM)  1.. 1.. 1..
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:06 PM) It does, It's hard to hint that all the relationships, business and personal are all virtual without being heavy handed
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:04 PM) Or at least, that's my suggestion.
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:04 PM) Though if the beginning does not -need- those nine words you can still put in, keep them out.
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 11:03 PM) Nice =)
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 11:02 PM) Woo! I made it down to 141, I can put 9 more words in!
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 10:59 PM) this is my summary of the one I'm writing:
Aging professional has no relationships who aren't VR-remoted (social side Matrix)
@  SillySilenia : (22 May 2013 - 10:58 PM) When it's for a class, it's better to keep the teacher's rules, yes.
@  Anesor : (22 May 2013 - 10:56 PM) has to give setting, character and problem in that 150 words. I don't have too much trouble with 200 words, but sweating it down is trickier.  The teacher defines flash as 500, but other places like here it's up to 1000. But I'd staying within her rules for the class
