Never heard of the term flash fiction or flash piece.  But I  
looked it up, and it even includes six-word story. Interesting.

Novellas or short stories are not very popular from my  
viewpoint as a book seller. Even poetry takes a backseat with  
many readers. The ONLY time a book of poetry takes off in sales  
is when it gets awareness via TikTok, Instagram, or Twitter.

So.. why not self-promote your stories with short TikTok  
videos.  Make them imaginative and unique.. and you could be  
assured to get better sales.

Getting the word out and standing out from the crowd and other  
noise is the key.
