Flash Fiction

“The writing workshop was easily one of the best I have ever attended. It is clear that the instructor knows her your stuff and has a love of writing, like the rest of us…this was really communicated throughout the day. The instructor was engaging and really informative. I was stressing a bit because I have a hard time writing on demand and usually fall back on old pieces, but the instructor managed to help me get something new on the page. I found that really exciting.”

“For me, the highlight of the class was seeing how engaged and focused every one of us was, the whole time: great energy.”

“I learned the power of time restraints. At first I was irritated with the timeframe for writing the piece, but when I look back, I realize that a short timeframe advances my writing: I get more done in less time.

Highlights: the pacing, the condensed workshop, no time wasted, a lot of theory and writing—the feeling that every minute counts.”

“What, exactly, did I learn at the “Writing Flash Fiction” workshop?

Big question! I learnt so much: what flash fiction is, how to go about writing it, how to appreciate it (I have never been a lover of the short story!), how to give constructive criticism in the best, most positive way.

The workshop exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every minute of it, and it was really inspiring to be surrounded by so much talent. The instructor presented the content in such an accessible and fun, friendly way. I cannot thank her enough for organising such a great day. (more…)

“Thank you for yet another inspirational day. I won’t be a stranger.

I learned that writing very short stories can be more than just a writing exercise, but the creation of true literary piece…I’m grateful this type of opportunity exists, with such a professional approach. And loving the healthy snacks ;)”

“I learned to avoid clichés like the plague 🙂 Also, try to trust your first instinct, but to refine it. Getting the feedback was pretty good, too; it gives you a good fillip.”

“The workshop was great! Thank you!

The highlight was listening to all of the stories written on that day. I was really impressed and entertained.

I would like to have had a bit more time to write. I found it very enlightening and fun! Met some really nice people (again). Great snacks!”

“Thank you very much for this very well-structured and inspiring workshop. It’s always stimulating to discover what others write, discouraging in a way as well, as you realize there are so many talents out there: What could you possibly add to it?
One writer in the room had an answer to that question: there is a reader for every story. ‘Somebody is waiting to read your story,’ she said.”
