Ukuze indaba ibe yindaba ephelele, sidinga kuphela into eyodwa encane ngaphakathi kokulandisa okuzoxazululwa. Le nto ingaba encane. Ngokuvamile akujabuli. Kungasishiya ngezigidi zemibuzo, kodwa iphendula eyodwa.
Okuxazululwe ngaphakathi kwendaba akuyona into eyenzeka ngaphandle, kodwa ngaphakathi. Ngokuvamile ababhali bayatshelwa ukuthi i- protagonist yabo kufanele ishintshe ngandlela-thile kusukela ekuqaleni kwezindaba kuze kube sekupheleni, futhi ngokuvamile, abantu bathatha lokhu kusho ukuthi into enkulu kufanele yenzeke (bheka izihloko ezandulela ukufa, izifo, zombies , njll).
Kodwa lokhu akulona iqiniso. Umzwelo ungashintsha. Indlela umuntu abona ngayo into ingashintsha. Isimo sengqondo singashintsha. Umlingiswa angase anqume nje ukuzenzela itiye.
Abafundi bami abaningi bayakhululeka lapho ngibatshela ukuba bangagxila kwisakhiwo futhi bahlose umzuzu owodwa kuphela. Ngokufanayo, abafundi abaningi bayathokoza lapho ngibhalela ama-1-2 izingcezu zezingqikithi zezinganekwane noma ama-flash fiction, njengoba becabanga ukuthi kuncane okumele babhale, kuzoba lula.
Noma kunjalo, lokhu akunjalo. Ukubhala i-flash fiction (ebizwa nangokuthi i-fiction micro, i-fiction emfushane, i-postcard fiction, kanye nezingane ezingamanga) akusho ukuthi umane ubhale amakhasi 1-2. Imithetho "efanayo" isebenza engxenyeni ephumelelayo ye-flash fiction njengoba yenza ezindabeni ezinde. Lokhu kusho ukuthi umbhali unesikhathi esincane sokudala izwe elithembekile ngaphambi kokuzama ukuxazulula okuthile ngaphakathi kwalo. Lokhu ngokuvamile kunzima kakhulu.
Omunye wabaphathi be-flash fiction ngumlobi uLydia Davis, umbhali we-The Thirteen Woman and Other Stories, Break It Down, nezinhlobonhlobo zokuphazanyiswa phakathi kwezinye izincwadi.
Izindaba zakhe zishicilelwe ndawonye ku- The Collected Stories kaLydia Davis.
Indaba yakhe ngezansi yisibonelo sokuthi kuncane kangakanani okumele kuguqulwe ukuze lo mlando ube "uqedele."
