  • testing the water
    by vicw at 13:51 on 08 July 2008
    Hi all,
    I'm just testing the water on my WW free trial.
    Can anyone recommend a group to join to get a feel for how things work? How does flash fiction differ to regular fiction? And how beginner is the beginners group?! I've completed a short writing course but am no pro.
    Best regards
    Vic

    Hi Vic, and welcome to the site.

    Flash fiction is, to sum it up very generally, shorter than a short story; usually under 1000 words.

    As for which group to join, it really is up to you. I'd recommend having a look at the ones you think might appeal - I think it's more useful for you decide what you feel comfortable with and what interests you than someone else telling you. What do you write?

    I must say as well that I think you'll find all of the groups are friendly, helpful and constructive, and that, when I last checked, the Beginner's group was a little quiet.

    Any questions please give me or Dee a shout.

    Nik

    Welcome to WW, Vic.
    Some of the groups are a lot quieter than other, so it's probably best to pick one that has had uploads of new work, and feedback, in the past few days.

    Thanks for your help. I'll get cracking and hopefully get something posted for your scrutiny asap!
    Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
