Building Fictions: From Idea to Completed Short Story
This generative class is a crash course on the elements of short fiction and the process of building a story from idea to finished draft. Through a combination of craft talk, example texts, and writing prompts, participants will gain a foundational understanding of the construction of a story and will leave with several building blocks of their own original works of short fiction.
