FLASH FICTION is a complete story, usually between three hundred and five hundred words, and sometimes up to a thousand words. Unlike a traditional short story, some elements in the flash fiction story can be hinted, or implied, allowing the readers to have different interpretations of the same story. CHANCES is a collection of flash fiction stories. Each story, distinct and separate from the others, is a look into the characters' world at a critical juncture in their lives.

Where he has remained for more than twenty years.
An active member of the Internet Writing Workshop, Norman gives and receives guidance from other would-be writers, and some that have been published, too. In addition to writing and critiquing, he also volunteers as a co-administrator on the Practice Writing list and helps out as content manager on the IWW Website and blog.
