Sometimes we get in our own way. We envision far-sweeping novels that will take years to finish and then beat ourselves up when we run out of steam. Enter Flash.

In this session, we’ll examine brief prompts with the goal of maximizing brevity and innovation. Expect to leave with three new flash drafts and a guaranteed method of breaking through writer’s block.
