THE CREATIVE FLASH
2018
SOU’WESTER
TEACHER
Flash fiction is a small and powerful beast that will bite you in the ass if you’re lucky.
Think of a moment that left a mark and ask yourself where its teeth are. In this class, I worked with students to examine the particular bite marks of a variety of flash fictions and work on sharpening their own teeth in this condensed and intense prose form. The workshop included time spent reading and discussing examples from masterful flash fiction authors and generating work from prompts that took students into the surrounding coastal landscape.
