I read „Fast Fiction“ in German. It was a spontaneous grab in the library. I‘m pleasantly surprised on how much weight the book lays on the writing exercise.

There are literally tons of different prompts and styles of choosing from them. It‘s a great pick that will make you not only have enough ideas for the day, but also how to review, improve and connect the stories with each other.

The first half presents the theory of shortest fiction and shows many examples of the genre and all its variety. This was a drag, at least for me.

Write five minutes. It’s better than nothing. This book will help you getting into that creative mindset.

This is my 2nd time reading this one and it has helped me a lot with getting stories written. I discovered short shorts through reading Fast Fiction and I've loved it since.
