The Joy of Flash at Becky Johnson Community Center

Learn how short writing can jumpstart your creative practice.

Registration is required.

Ever feel stuck in your writing? Looking for creative inspiration? In this workshop, we will read and write several pieces of flash fiction as a way to loosen up your creative muscle, get ideas on the page quickly, and find the spark in your writing. This workshop is for new and experienced writers.
