Descrição
Tell your own story in two pages or fewer! A flash is a bright, brilliant moment. In this workshop-based course, you’ll learn about the short, "flash" form, and how it can be just as powerful as a longer piece. If you feel burnt out or blocked, if you need to hone a character’s backstory, if you want to write memorable scenes and sentences, or if you always write short and want to know what to do with your short pieces, this workshop is for you!
In “Flash in a Flash,” you’ll read contemporary and classic masters of the flash form in both fiction and nonfiction with (short!) readings and digital discussions, and we’ll stretch our skills by experimenting with many different styles of flash. We’ll build community and learn workshopping and revision skills through small group workshops, and I will provide feedback one-on-one to all students on their writing.
Work on your own standalone flash piece, or hone your skills for your longer work--all are welcome! Let’s find our flashes of brilliance together.
