The highlights of the April 10 presentation to D5 follow:
1. Creativity comes from limitation. Limits help create the tension.
2. Writing isn't declaration. It's exploration. This is found in all types of writing--prose, nonfiction, poetry.
3. Flash fiction involves the reader in making order. Don't state the implied.
4. Flash fiction may use imposed or borrowed structures such as lists, absurd contrast between form and content, a recipe, etc.
5. Flash fiction may exist as a dramatic monologue.
6. Flash fiction often distills time into a single scene or moment.

D5 is hosting Amy Sage Webb-Baza at the regular monthly meeting April 10 at 1:30.

Amy Sage Webb-Baza teaches at Emporia State and judged KAC’s 2020 Flash Fiction contest. She will speak about writing effective flash fiction, followed by a writing exercise for participants in writing flash fiction and sharing what they've written.
 
Please join us for a fun exploration of flash fiction. This form is rewarding to practice and fun to read. Writing flash fiction also offers techniques that can enhance prose of many lengths and types, including short stories, novels, nonfiction essays, and memoirs. Flash fiction even overlaps with and informs poetry. All writers will find some inspiration for their projects in this form.
