I feel so lucky to work with such amazing, smart, talented, big-hearted writers. And Shadowcliff Lodge is such a perfect place to rest, write, and commune with fellow artists who share the same passion for words. Always a magical experience. 🍂 Picture by Tyler DeLane Insta: @betheground

Hey friends, my new round of 3-in-90 live, generative workshops begins THIS Saturday (Sept. 26th)! Sign up for one, two, or all three! www.artofflashfiction.com/threein90

Moods, Memories, and Mishaps: Immersive Storytelling to Elevate Your Flash Fiction
Great flash fiction doesn't just tell a quick story. It conveys strong feeling and tone, goes deep with emotional history, and propels the reader irresistibly forward. In this three-part series of 90-minute workshops, we will explore three fundamental forces that will elevate your flash storytelling to the level of rich and resonant, unforgettable art.

These workshops offer a concentrated immersion into the art and craft of flash fiction, encouraging writers to take risks, write from the gut, and generate new work. Though centered on writing, sessions will also include some craft discussion, sharing of published examples, and writing tips.

Expect to generate new material in every session and leave with fresh drafts that surprise you.

Off to beautiful Grand Lake, Colorado to lead workshops at what has become an annual retreat there. There's something about that homey, rustic, serene space that brings out really deep writing for everyone involved. Can't wait. 💙

This gorgeous piece made me cry. 'In the lullaby of this lonely New Zealand night, I heard the lap of the ghost ship’s oars and the major-chord music in the moorings off the coastal scrub." Read @pdforan.bsky.social 's piece in what looks like a phenomenal new issue of @lit-namjooning.bsky.social 💔

Wow! Love both of these, @kossworks.bsky.social "It’s a Catholic sort of thing, you know, how friends are behind the curtain of the confession booth as you say nothing and nothing and nothing, and the silence sounds like troubadours as their minds race like charred swallows to fill in the spaces."
