When it's cold, very, very cold, what can you do to pass the time? Why not write?
These are some of the workshops I offer. You can do them one-on-one or in a group. Why not give yourself or a loved one a gift workshop for the holidays?
Send me a note and let me know what you want to do. Fees are very reasonable.

Workshop #04
Title: SHORT-SHORTS: The art of minimalist writing
Summary:
Short-shorts or flash fiction is a short form of storytelling. Defining it by the number of words or
sentences or even pages required to tell a story, however, is impossible, for
it differs from writer to writer, editor to editor. It can be fiction or nonfiction, personal or
created.
