You should aim for 100 stories. If you were going for professional publication, I would suggest you get some of the stories published in magazines. That would make your collection more attractive to a conventional publisher.

What I would suggest is taking a grammar course. If your stories are written in the same manner as your question, you will be an embarrassment to writers everywhere.

The word is debut, not debuet

The word is WHAT, not wut

The word is stories, not storis

"I" the pronoun is always capitalized.

If you are formatting your book properly (which I doubt) 750 words in a standard trade paperback format is actually about 2 to 2 1/2 pages. Assuming a table of contents and copyright page, you would want about about 70-75 stories to fill out a 150 pg book in trade paperback format.

Actually, most professionals classify flash fiction as under 500 words (and many publications limit you to 100 words). 750 words isn't really flash fiction. It's a short story.
