Memory Flash

Close your eyes and remember! In this workshop, participants will use a series of memory-based prompts to create flash non-fiction about their own life and then they will use a subtraction-addition-subtraction process to write a 500 word short story that will act as a kind of mirror or memoir about themselves. Those who would like to share will be invited to participate in gentle critique using a question style method.
