"You Had Me At Hello": Using cultural reference points and history to tell big stories–quick! In this fun, interactive session, we'll study two microfictions and turn them into generative prompts to kickstart our own writing.
No previous knowledge needed. Perfect for the novice and seasoned microwriter, alike. Great for poets looking for a start in prose, too. Students will leave the class with the start of two micros and an appreciation for how cultural and historical information can help them compress narrative (aka–the secret to writing short).
Bring a paper and pencil/pen.
