[stylist] Quote about flash fiction

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

While doing some publication research today, I found the following quote
about flash fiction and thought I'd share it with you lot:

"Flash fiction is fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended,
lithe and muscular with no extra fat. It pounces in the first paragraph,
and if those claws aren't embedded in the reader by the start of the
second, the story began a paragraph too soon. There is no margin for
error. Every word must be essential, and if it isn't essential, it must
be eliminated."

I think I found the quote on the Another Realm website. I love it.
