In this fiction workshop we will bask in the glories of story. We will experiment and push past the comfortable and banal into the daring and the particular. The prompts in this class will be varied and fun. Our task will be figuring out how to push at our own boundaries – which is at its essence the problem of telling old stories in new ways, and is the work of all writers. We’ll read and discuss short fiction and poetry from current journals for inspiration. Along the way we will name and examine the unique strengths of your prose, while offering guidance that will help further texturize your work into full, developed pieces.
