Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content Structure for Flash Fiction has never been so simple and fast. What if all story ideas were able to be boiled down to a single formula? Wycliffe A. Hill had this idea in the 1930's when no less than Cecil B. DeMille rejected one of his stories because ""it had a good narrative, but no drama."" This led Hill to research what made a dramatic story. Diving into the problem that the growing movie industry had for volume treatments to feed their industry, Hill created a device to harvest these many different possibilities for plot creation. The original ""Genie"" he produced was to explore the idea of a formulaic basis for stories. For Flash Fiction, the work is even more daunting, as it's not a question of filling in more conflict, action, or romance by adding words. The object of this book is more for education of the author in the basics of how to string a plot together, and maybe a solution to any ""writer's block."" Win the day. Get Your Copy Now.
