Over the course of three weeks, we’ll consider brevity and the art of implication by taking a close look at the elements of miniature narratives under 1,500 words. We’ll read flash pieces with varying approaches to form, theme, style, and voice. We’ll ask questions like: What constitutes flash? What distinguishes it from other forms? How does genre impact you as the reader and the narrative itself? How does every word earn its place in a flash piece? What’s unsaid; what's the story behind the story?
In addition to readings and discussion, we’ll mine everyday life using simple writing exercises as opportunities for you to write your own flash narratives and share them in class. We’ll see firsthand how diverse our interpretations and creative approaches to flash narratives can be!
This class is open to all, whether you’re new to flash or an experienced writer.
