Very short stories (and sometimes essays)—often called flash fiction—are fun to write because you can finish a piece of writing that feels satisfyingly complete in a limited amount of time. In this workshop we’ll all write one or two brief pieces that will be ready (or almost ready) to share with the world by the time the workshop ends.
We hope you’ll join Boise City Writer-in-Residence Don Zancanella on July 25, 10:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. at the Erma Hayman House for Flash Fiction.
Very short stories, often called flash fiction, are especially fun to write because they allow writers to create work that feels whole and satisfying in a limited amount of time. Guided by Don, participants will experiment with brevity, focus, and precision as they draft one or two short pieces during the session.
Together, the group will discuss what gives flash fiction its impact and how constraint can spark creativity. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with brief pieces that are ready, or nearly ready, to share with the world.
No registration is required, but space is limited. This workshop is geared toward writers of all levels and genres. Please bring writing materials, such as a notebook and pen.
