Flash fiction is an ultra-short, fictional narrative that focuses on a single moment, character, or plot point.

In this class we will be learning about flash fiction by crafting a 250 word flash fiction piece that can be escalated to any other length.

We will talk about what are the key ingredients of flash fiction, with the help of the M.I.C.E. Quotient.

What will we cover?

We will start by introducing the M.I.C.E Quotient, explaining how to recognize which of its threads we are following in our piece.

Then we will set the Who, Where and genre that we will base our work on.

No need to be a writer! Just come and have fun with words and ideas.
