Over the course of eight sessions\, we’ll shape and refine our ever-evolving sense of Flash by reading published work\, by sharing craft essays on form\, and by writing—every week in class—new work of our own. This specific course in FNF will focus on surprise (the moment a piece takes a leap we didn’t expect\, but\, once lept\, makes more sense than any linear move ever could)\, while also covering concerns like setting\, pacing\, summary\, scene\, sensory description\, character\, and stakes. For those new to FNF\, flash prose includes any non-lineated creative writing piece under 750-words (roughly 3 pages double-spaced in standard 12-point font). Tiny but mighty\, these pieces build stakes\, provoke emotions\, and pack the punch of a full-sized piece. Looking at essays by writers like Hanif Abdurraqib\, Claudia Rankine\, Viet Thanh Nguyen\, and Lia Purpura we’ll explore how a sneaky volta affects our understanding of plot and influences our emotional reactions. Our discussions will segue into writing prompts\, ensuring that\, no matter how busy your life is outside of Inprint\, you will be writing. This course is a great fit for those looking to begin or boost a regular writing practice\, to explore new forms\, and to build an insightful and generous online writing community. Both new and returning FNF students are encouraged to attend – the material covered in this class changes every iteration. The course will include a discussion of the submission process\, literary journals\, cover letters\, and publication. \n URL:https://inprinthouston.org/event/flash-creative-nonfiction-online-2022-204/ CATEGORIES:Writers Workshops END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
