A Deep Dive into Your Story’s Strengths
Flash fiction is an art form that requires precision, impact, and a mastery of brevity. Every word counts. Every sentence must serve a purpose. But how do you know if your flash fiction truly delivers? That’s where the Flash Fiction Analyzer comes in.
This tool evaluates flash fiction stories of 1,000 words or less by dividing them into six essential storytelling elements: Hook, Characters, Conflict, Resolution, Theme, and Word Economy. Each category is scored from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), providing actionable feedback to help refine your work.
If you’re one of my paid subscribers, I’m excited to offer you an exclusive opportunity—send me your flash fiction stories, and I’ll personally analyze them using this system. You’ll receive a detailed breakdown of your score and specific feedback on how to sharpen your storytelling.
How the Flash Fiction Analyzer Works
When you submit your story, I’ll assess it across these six key areas:
1️⃣ Hook (5 points)
Does your first sentence grab the reader’s attention? A strong hook intrigues, surprises, or immerses immediately.
✅ 5 – Outstanding hook; impossible to ignore.
➖ 3 – Decent, but could be sharper.
❌ 1 – Weak or generic opening.
2️⃣ Characters (5 points)
Are your characters vivid and emotionally engaging despite the short word count?
✅ 5 – Well-developed and memorable.
➖ 3 – Present, but not deeply engaging.
❌ 1 – Flat or forgettable.
3️⃣ Conflict (5 points)
Does your story have a compelling tension that drives the plot forward?
✅ 5 – Strong conflict that adds urgency.
➖ 3 – Some conflict, but it could be more engaging.
❌ 1 – Weak or nonexistent conflict.
4️⃣ Resolution (5 points)
Is your ending satisfying, surprising, or thought-provoking?
✅ 5 – A powerful or unexpected resolution.
➖ 3 – Acceptable but not memorable.
❌ 1 – Unclear or missing resolution.
5️⃣ Theme (5 points)Does your story explore a meaningful idea?
✅ 5 – A theme that lingers in the reader’s mind.
➖ 3 – Present but not refined.
❌ 1 – Theme is absent or forced.
6️⃣ Word Count & Efficiency (5 points)
Are your words concise, powerful, and within the limit?
✅ 5 – Every word is necessary and impactful.
➖ 3 – Some excess or underdevelopment.
