It's a really really short story, 100 words doesn't give you a lot of words to tell it in.<br /><br />Flash Fiction on the other hand, is a bit more free. It is a really short story, though the length is not set in stone, it can be roughly anywhere between 300 words and a thousand words. It gives you more room to write more in your story, yet you still have to be concise in your words. I hope that helps?Sketching Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894873881126771450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058078249833177706.post-63451710242604514502011-02-14T22:31:21.224-08:002011-02-14T22:31:21.224-08:00How are Drabbles different from Flash Fiction?How are Drabbles different from Flash Fiction?Alexander M Zoltaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834377275741541185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058078249833177706.post-62486556287895472692011-02-13T05:45:34.061-08:002011-02-13T05:45:34.061-08:00Hi Ryan, Thanks so much for your huge compliments!...Hi Ryan, Thanks so much for your huge compliments! I've not had anyone comment on my writing before this drabble, it's great to know my writing isn't awful. Great encouragement, thank you! Looks like I'll have to write more on Anya now! :)<br /><br />Hi Lec, Thanks so much! This was my first drabble, so shortening description is very new to me. But definitely something I'm enjoying!

I felt sorry for the guy in your 'Dust' drabble though, another great drabble story! :)Sketching Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15894873881126771450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3058078249833177706.post-28496179711613705332011-02-12T11:47:28.361-08:002011-02-12T11:47:28.361-08:00Enjoyed this.

It will definitely be a challenge! <br /><br />And thank you so much for your compliments on my writing, I am striving to improve, as I want to write and complete a novel, this will hopefully help me improve my writing so I can write a great novel!

Congrats!<br /><br />Your drabble is a nice character presentation that sparks a lot of questions and dives right into action - pun intended. <br /><br />If you want an additional challenge next week, write a whole story in a drabble, meaning an exposition, a conflict and a climax within 100 words. It makes us even more careful with our words. ;)<br /><br />That being said, your imagery is strong and so is your writing. You nailed that first drabble!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
