FLASH FICTION: THE POWER OF BREVITY Are you ready to get writing? Surely you've got time for a little bit of flash--that short yet evocative form. In this fun and highly generative class, we'll read some flash fiction each week and discuss how it works. Then you'll get a writing prompt related to the discussion and the opportunity to share your work with peers to receive light, constructive feedback. At the end of the class, you'll have eight brand new stories, a fuller understanding of flash fiction, and the inspiration to keep writing. I'm offering this course THROUGH LIT!COMMONS. If you sign up for just two months of Lit!Commons (July and August), you get this class, as well as everything else that's wonderful about that space. (And it's less expensive than a regular course, too!) 8 weeks, Thursdays, 7/11/24 - 8/29/24, 7-8pm CST, Online (live meetings through zoom) PLUS an asynchronous path that you can complete on your own time! Wait until July, then register:

Writing "Strange Light: Ler Mahia" was a journey full of twists, turns, and invaluable learning experiences. As I navigated through the process, there were countless moments where I had to remind myself of a fundamental truth: my goal is not to become like other authors. In the midst of drafting, editing, and reworking my manuscript, I realized that my unique voice and perspective are my greatest strengths. The comparison trap can be tempting, but it was crucial for me to stay true to my own creative vision. Every writer has a different path, and each story deserves to be told in its own authentic way. This journey taught me the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and embracing the uniqueness of my narrative. I hope Strange Light reflects the dedication and passion I poured into it and resonates with readers who, like me, value authenticity and personal expression. Thank you to everyone who supported me along this journey. Your encouragement and belief in my work have been instrumental in bringing this story to life. #WritingJourney #StrangeLightLM #Authenticity #CreativeProcess #StayTrueToYourself
