HERE FIRST

Welcome to Espresso Shots. Here you can read and enjoy new stories, discover new writers, write comments - and write and submit your own stories.

Reading writing on a screen makes you read in a rush, so you can print off the Shots you like most and read them more slowly later, with a coffee or a glass of wine, or a beer or in bed.

You can tighten and loosen and play with your own writing until the tension is right.

Most of my pieces posted here I wrote in cafes with a cappuccino or mocha on the table and music and people speaking around me. I started with a crossword clue as the first line, or something I heard, writing casually and spontaneously and about anything I wanted.

You may already write like this; or you can try it now with your own idea or one of the exercises on the site. You can write for 5 minutes now, starting by writing the line

The train stopped at the station
and writing anything you like. Keep writng - loosely and enjoyably, and following any changes of subject, and only coming back to write about your original idea as much or as little as feels right.

You can send your writing as an e mail or attachment to quickfiction@gmail.com . You keep the copyright for any of your writing included in Espresso Shots, and please keep a copy of what you send.

About Me

My Photo
ANTHONY SIDES
I cut and paste my writing from an ongoing text produced by 17 capuchin monkeys typing on laptops in a hotel suite near Elko, Nevada. You can read the results in The 6S Review vol 3, edited by Lydia Davis, and in Comma and Multi-Storey.
