Flash Fiction

“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.”

“I particularly enjoyed the way the workshop was structured: the emphasis on form. The highlight of the workshop was the selection of the pieces. The stories were really suited to the workshop. In one particular story, every single sentence is perfect—I think I’ll print it and hang it up at home. The selection of stories was good because, they opened up my horizons.”
