How to Write Sudden Fiction Poetry

Sudden Fiction: How To

Sudden fiction is all about tapping into emotive and often darker themes that the vast majority of people already have a general image and understanding of. Whether it's teenage angst, love, death, loneliness or even vampirism it is important that you can create a story and load it with good descriptive and emotive detail to generate a sense of larger content. What do I mean by this you say? Well in successful sudden fiction the reader will come away after reading a short paragraph feeling like they've read a whole page or two of work. How can this be done you say? Poetry has many techniques as does short story writing and I personally borrow from both. You need to attack your readers framework of reference so that every word they read triggers ten more and ultimately paints such a large and detailed picture in the readers mind that they gain a sense of the whole from a tiny section.

It's also about wetting your readers appetite and bombarding their imagination with powerful and flowing writing. This is the art of poetry, anyone can take love for example and list powerful words and create a short story in a paragraph but to make it flow and captivate your reader by overwhelming their imagination is the real skill here.

This is really one of the most modern and refreshing styles of poetry and really allows you to tap into creative writing in a fun and personal way. Remember all good poetry has plenty of heart and has to be open to interpretation so never give every detail and secret away.

I will be writing further creative writing and poetry guides for budding writers and expanding on the poetry and creative writing techniques you will need to master if you want to make a name for yourself. I will be sharing some of my own and original sudden fiction written back in 2002.
