Have you just written some new flash and don’t know what to do next? Is there a story that won’t let you go but that never quite feels ‘there’? Do you keep submitting a piece you love that never quite lands? This session is designed to help you attack the process of editing and polishing from multiple angles and level up your flash fitness.
Grab a pen, paper, water-bottle and most importantly, your flash drafts. You’ll get the most out of the session if you have a print-out, handwritten copy, or accessible digital version of one or more of your works-in-progress to hand.
Writers of all backgrounds and experience levels warmly welcome. These prompts, exercises and challenges are brand new and editing-focused, so this is also suitable for those who have done one of my interval training sessions in the past. Come along, roll up your sleeves, and trust the process!
Date: May 17th
