Both print journals and electronic zines now feature the "short-short”
finished works of limited word length. Poets, authors and essayists have
turned to the vignette, whether memoir, prose poem or fiction. Whether you're
a full time writer or are just beginning to explore fiction, memoir or poetry,
this brief form provides an excellent opportunity for hands-on-experimentation
and discussion.
In Part II, The Workshop, participants will workshop their short-short
assignments from the first session. Those familiar with the form or who attended
last year will receive an assignment via email. All 3 genres are workshopped
together adding to a better grasp of one's chosen genre and a greater
appreciation of all three. Come for a lively discussion, to test your powers of
brevity and sharpen your skills. Writers of all genres welcome. Returning
participants need not attend Part I.
