Short shorts
No, I don't mean that sort of short shorts (although Heidi Montag does look good in them, doesn't she?) but rather very short writing, even shorter than what is normally known as "flash fiction".  Hiw short?  There are venues that have 100 word stories, such as The Drabbler  Open in new Window., venues that have some specific speciality such as Six Sentences  Open in new Window. (I bet you can guess their rules), and a few venues that focus on the Twitter and SMS markets with 140 character limits, such as Nanoism  Open in new Window. or Tweet the Meat  Open in new Window..

Not exactly the way to get famous, but good for a coffee break while you let your novel percolate in the back of your brain.  I tried the 100 word variety, but they say the average response is 111 days, so don't expect to hear anything back too soon.


Current status: 35 items in 50 submissions. One new market attempted, The Drabbler.
