DAY 17 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. I woke up giggling this morning. That's pretty much all I have to say about this one, except here is some background info on the 4th dimension. That was a wild dream, and that’s what I got out of it. I was glad I was able to get a story out of it. Here is another link to a different episode where I get into coinciding planes and why other beings can’t always interact with us.

Day 16, because it’s August 16th. It’s like math, only easier. Today I woke up, and I said to myself, I said: “I’m going to write a story about a dog.” Here is the link to this past week in review of aaaaaaalll of my stories. I hope to reach my target audience who might need a few moments of escape from the treachery and the danger involved in being journalists and truth tellers in these unsettling times. Both of the cults that control the US are saying very disturbing things and it could get rough

DAY 15 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Morning writing is as already better than evening. That was a fun experiment but this is more fun, it’s better, it’s way better. So here’s what happened today. I had this idea first thing this morning for some food that would sell well on a food truck. Then one thing led to another and this was an end result for a story. It’s pretty obvious. I’ll get more into that after the end of the story. ALL THE CONTENT. Of course! What else would one do is such a situation? That

I think I’m going to start writing my stories first thing in the AM like I did for FFF beginning tomorrow. I think the stories were better and more interesting. These later in the day stories aren’t doing it for me, but they can be more challenging. Thanks. I’m Commercial Herschel, and I’m here to help.First, I have a

DAY 13 OF FLASH AUGUST FICTION. Not a lot to say about this one. A skill I have is building. I was a bricklayer and a stone mason, and I know fire tech. What that means is that I can build fireplaces, masonry heaters, flue systems, and chimneys. I think a lot about how the buildings around us affect us. I hate gargoyles. I love angels.

The links for the first three parts are below, but this is a great time to recommend two of my favorite writers regarding the thing that is happening that still too few people are willing to admit. Robert W Malone MD, MS who is an expert on mRNA technology. Also, 2nd Smartest Guy in the World who is an EXHAUSTIVE researcher. I hope you find them

DAY 11 of FLASH AUGUST FICTION: 30-in-30 days: I’m in quite a blank moment as I sit down to write this evening. I generally either write something somewhat absurd or fairly innocuous when this happens. I’m going to be having a light dinner during this. Maybe it will be about food. I’ve done that before. That might be the thing. Sure, why not? Since I’m doing that, I guess I’ll recommend my favorite food-related Substack. Giulia Scarpaleggia has a newsletter called Letters from Tuscany. Sometimes I

DAY NINE of FLASH AUGUST FICTION. I keep thinking about the FFF episode I did called The Resident. That one was weird. It had a surprising ending that also made sense. The word that stays prominent in my mind is furniture. So, that's the thing. Let's see what happens with furniture. Also, I want to refer a very good writer, just as I did yesterday. I think you should check out KW NORTON. I like all of his writing, and this one is especially good. OK, so let's see what this thing about furniture is

Here is my week-in-review blog post from the last 7 days of stories written on the spot. Another thing I want to do is recommend a writer I have been enjoying as of late, Stone Bryson.

Usually there is at least a little bit more of an idea than this. Something tells me it’s going to be absurd. Also. I don’t know what the heck happened yesterday with the production of the podcast.

Is There a Formula for Flash Fiction?

I think of Flash Fiction as pressing the subconscious into duty. It has been rewarding for me. Tomorrow is Flash August Fiction where I will do 30 brand-new stories, podcasted, in 30 days. In February, I did Flash Fiction February[FFF], which was 29.What I learned from FFF and how a formula emerged. Don’t be cheap. Don’t be lazy. Write a real ending. Don’t end your story with some cheap, traumatic other-worldly ending where a monster or an alien kills everyone, or there’s a car accident and everyone

The OVALS series is going to become its own podcast. Here is an original which will become the pilot. There is now a villain, so it's a real story now. But the biggest hint is that OVALING is
