RE: Peer Pressure - Fiftywords - Flash Fiction
These are so clever. I am impressed with what a vivid picture you can paint in only 50 words. -Aimee

Thank you so much!
With each of these stories my goal is to see how big of a story can I tell in 50 words. I am hoping that by writing under these constraints, I will learn how to write better.
What a great exercise for the brain. I can see how practicing this would hone your writing skills. When I have time for my own account I think I would enjoy joining in on these challenges.
Where do you pull your inspiration from?

I'm not sure, it's probably my brains way of coping, because as a kid I couldn't be as active as the other kids, so I spent a lot of time thinking up weird stories and I still do.
Although I don't always write them down because my hands are impaired so it is really nice to find a challenge like this.
Hmmm... that makes sense. Well you are very good at these quick stories.
I had a drama teacher who used to encourage us to people watch, especially on public transit. She wanted us to give them a backstory and decide why they were on the bus that day. It was an excercise in character building and I find myself continuing to do this even to this day. Ha ha! -A
I do the same thing, but I like to give them really messed up backgrounds so I can laugh when they do something that fits my narrative.

LMFAO! You are obviously more skilled at this exercise than me. I am going to have to start upping my game a little. -A
