Collapse section Fiction On Hiatus

According to Brandi Reissenweber, “characters are what drive fiction.” (Gotham Writers’ Workshop’s Writing Fiction, 2003) Robert Olen Butler says, “[p]lot, in fact, is yearning challenged and thwarted.” (The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Fiction, 2009) Send stories with a main character who longs for something, something that is important to your protagonist. The story can be serious, humorous or anything in between, but there must be an underlying tension.
