About this Event
Flash writing is a unique and creative form that liberates your story from lived experience. We’ll focus on crafting a story that helps trigger memories, develop structure, enhances writing voice, and packs a complete narrative punch. You’ll learn how to construct character, setting, plot, point of view, word choice, metaphors, and symbols into flash nonfiction, flash fiction, and prose poems.
Often, we write because everything isn’t all right. In narratives, something needs to be unstable. That something can provide the center of the storyline while also being the impetus for the narration. Whether we’re talking about fiction, nonfiction, or narrative poetry, we tell stories to try to figure out the mysteries of human behavior. Why do people do the things they do? What does it mean to be alive?
Learn how to unearth the "real" story, hone your craft, pursue your creative passion, or find new enthusiasm for unfinished projects. You'll leave with the key elements of creative nonfiction, innovative storytelling tips, and strategies for developing a strong narrative voice. Former English professor Kim E. Morgan will give an overview of this year's writing program. This introductory session is for teen writers, aspiring authors, and seasoned professionals. Find us upstairs in the Nelson Room.
