An experience workshop that explores creativity in short formats with Tisha Marie Reichle-Aguilera
About this Event

Can you write a story in 1,000 words? How about in 100 words? Not sure? Here's your chance to try! (Again, if you participated in the previous experience.) During this four-hour, in-person, creative writing experience for writers at all levels, you'll learn about flash fiction, flash nonfiction, micro-fiction, and micro-memoir and have time to practice these short forms not once, not twice, but four times! We will look at samples from various online journals, review elements of scene and precise use of language, play with verbs and point of view. We will practice cutting and shaping ideas to fit the word count. There will be two opportunities to share your work.
