In the blink of an eye. Life disappears and reappears: words. This is exactly the strength of flash fiction. Creation and destruction on a page. Or less dramatically the quiet absorption of a moment. This workshop is designed to introduce you to writing in this abbreviated, yet deceptively expansive form. It will include readings from three writers, Marisela Chavez, Arnulfo Talamantes and Nicole Provencher, whose work has appeared in the Current Flash Fiction Blog, which I edit. We will discuss what makes the pieces excellent examples of flash fiction. Then weʼll get started writing our own with a variety of prompts.
