I'm not so sure flash is different. Resolution is pleasing, regardless of length.

I'm about to finish reading it, and it's been enlightening.

I'm a longform writer who transitioned to the world of copywriting, which requires a less-is-more approach.

Now I'm buying poetry, writing haikus for fun and looking into flash fiction. I appreciate your bredth of examples and exercises that encourage one to be brief with purpose.
