What You Will Learn?

  • In this class, we’ll talk what flash fiction is generally agreed to be, what can happen in flash fiction (everything!), and why it’s a great writing exercise as well as an incredible form of writing itself..
  • You’ll learn how constraints like word count can help you be inspired..
  • We’ll look at some flash fiction pieces: the short-short “The Thirteenth Woman” by Lydia Davis; the slightly over 1k words David Foster Wallace story “Incarnations of Burned Children”; and one of my own stories, which won a prize on One Throne Magazine, “In A World Gone Mad.".
