On May 4, attendees are invited to challenge themselves to write a “very short story” or long poem with fewer than 500 words. This can be exciting and, perhaps, a bit daunting. During the workshop, we’ll explore the answers to these burning questions and many more: What is flash fiction and microfiction? How do I start? What about character and plot development? What do I leave in? And what must I leave out?
As a group, we’ll decide whether we write collaboratively, solo, or a combination of approaches. We’ll also pick a set of writing prompts (words, phrases, descriptions) and then create works that incorporate those items.
It will be interesting to see how many different ways there are to write about the same topics, proving that old and new ideas are just grist for the mill. What you create will be fresh and original.
