It's a fucked up world.

Everything's falling apart.

Darkness is closing in.

Let's do a craftwork episode.

Craftwork episodes you will recall feature a conversation about some aspect of the craft of writing

or it's a conversation about some aspect of the business of publishing.

Today it's going to be about writing.

A conversation with author and editor Tommy Dean about how to write flash fiction.

That's right.

An episode about how to write flash fiction.

Today is for the nerds.

That's what this episode is all about.

It's for the nerds.

It's about people who love compression. It's about people

who want to get into the weeds and learn about how to write flash fiction. Tommy Dean is the author

of two flash fiction chapbooks and a full-length flash collection entitled hollows. He is also the editor

of Fractured Lit and Uncharted Magazine. My conversation

with Tommy Dean about how to write flash fiction is coming up in just a second. Don't forget to
