How do we write successful stories that are 1,000 words or less? In this lecture, I’ll share tools to help writers create and revise for brevity. Through examples, we’ll examine how to write a story that moves forward without distracting the reader with what is missing. In Flash, writers become attuned to language at the sentence level. This is good practice for writers of all genres, as you’ll learn how to transform abstract ideas into specific moments. This genre also encourages experimentation with point of view and form.
This lecture covers:
