A Mad Scientist's View of Flash Fiction

The Mad Scientist likes to write about all sorts of things (see the links below). However it's always nice to venture into new areas periodically.

Flash fiction is a form of short-short story. Typically a piece of flash fiction is 1000 words or less. That makes it suitable for quick downloads on e-readers, tablets and phones. Not to mention it's very good discipline for any writer. The theme and characters must be developed immediately. The story must come to a conclusion by the one thousandth word. The added bonus for any writer or wannabe is that flash fiction is also fun to write!

The Mad Scientist Can Be Serious Too!

Acquaintances of the Mad Scientist know that 'Mad Scientist' is not a misnomer. However between a career in biomedical research and a sub-career in scientific/medical publishing, there are serious aspects to the Mad Scientist. The Internet provides many opportunities to publish short articles about serious subjects. They can be useful providers of small bits of information for interested (or not, as the case may be) readers.
