Writing romantic flash fiction by John Brantingham
This workshop is designed to help participants see creation and revision through the eyes of shorter form writers. Techniques that poets and flash fiction writers use to generate new work can help people who write longer forms to develop their work as well, especially when you’re stuck in a paragraph or the middle of the chapter. The revision of shorter forms create their own magic as well. This presentation will help you to resee the entire creation and revision process.
