“What Works” blog entries on Oxyjen

Bit of a selfish point to Oxyjen, the blog of fellow writer JJDebenedictis (aka. Goblin). She runs a seni-regular series called “What Works” in which she highlights short stories, novel excerpts, and otherwise that do something right…be it characterization, tension, making the reader believe the impossible, etc.

In her latest entry, she was kind enough to use one of my flash fiction stories from the Clarity of Night flash fiction contests. It’s fun to see her analyze the piece with both an eye for the reader and writer. So check out this and the other “What Works” posts for some great thoughts on various aspects of the writing craft.

Thanks, JJ!
