Ilona Martonfi, Artist at Poet

The life of a poet must be reflected in his poetry. That is the law of the art and a law of life. Pablo Neruda (Link: Wikipedia)

Flash Fiction: Start at the flashpoint. Think: the final gesture of a love affair. Focus on the powerful image(s) - A war-torn street. An alien sunset. A Going Out of Business sign. Hit them where it hurts - Go for an ending that offers an emotional impact. Search for a subtle pivot, a surprising juxtaposition. ... Try to write to the drift of a story rather than in its grain. The joy of flash fiction is found not only in the words of the story, but in what is left outthe absences can be almost spectral, haunting what’s been told, only guessed at. DO: Read poetry. Write in a fit of rage, in a blush of love, in a fury, in a depression. (Link: Wikipedia)
