What if the real story isn’t the story at all? In this workshop we’ll mine the gaps. Deleted scenes, background characters, unresolved aftermaths and more to cover narratives that traditional storytelling ignores.
Takeaways:
Identify and exploit the hidden potential in narrative margins
Develop techniques for implied storytelling (what’s not said)
Transform fragments into stand-alone pieces with emotional weight
Date: February 15th

In its third year, The March Micro Marathon will be, as usual, a prompt-a-day whirlwind for 24 days. You’ll exchange drafts of micro fiction, non-fiction, and prose poetry in small groups and gather for a series of online events (all recorded for participants unable to attend live). We’ll finish with 3 competitions, and participants who are not already in SmokeLong Fitness will be invited to workshop with SmokeLong Fitness until the end of April!
