ENGL 1520 Flash Fiction: Writing the very short, short story

Flash or sudden fiction is a genre that grows in popularity as attention spans shorten. Are you still reading? Students review, practice, and workshop all the basics found in longer works (plot, dialogue, characterization, setting, and conflict) and learn to hone and compress. Useful application for writing very short stories, graphic novels, one-act plays, blog narratives, and the like. Short and sweet. This course uses the platforms Moodle and Zoom and is a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Students need reliable internet access. Recommended for new and returning students.
