Flash Fiction with Vanessa Gebbie. 

Learn about flashing on a Saturday morning! Flash work is very popular in today’s fiction markets. Flashing is fast and fun as a writing process, compact and sparkling as a product. Somewhere between poems and short stories, with more than a little of both. Learning how to flash strengthens you as a writer. Unbeatable for zapping writers’ block. Come prepared to write. Suitable for writers of all levels.
