Writing Workshop: Flash Fiction

Catalog description

In this course, we explore the word, phrase, and fragment. We capture image or sound. We write concise narratives that reflect surface and give sudden glints of light. We notice how the sentence unfolds to distill the essence of story. Flash fiction emphasizes subtext and implication. It focuses on precision and detail. It explores compression, limits, and constraint. In this workshop, we answer the question: What occurs within narrative restriction? We say more by saying less. Prerequisite: COR110. Co-requisite: WRI210.
