Thanks! That would be awesome! I’ve been writing stories for a couple years but I have no idea how to go about sending them out or where to send them. Any resources you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Oh, and I’m not sure how to delete my comment either.

Duotrope.com is a great way to begin. Choose “flash fiction” as the length. I also choose “literary” as the style for my own writing.
