This generative workshop invites you to work in timed writings, five minutes at a time, to create brief stories or personal narratives (mini-memoirs). We’ll work from prompts, allowing the timer to focus  our attention on the telling. We’ll write spontaneously, bypassing the inner critic, the niggling editor, and the loud-mouthed censor, to get down the story we have to tell, fiction or nonfiction. (Be prepared for some surprises). In the following weeks, we’ll use more timed exercises to lengthen our narratives, then revise and finally, receive feedback from others in the workshop. At the end of the four-session workshop, participants will have a finished short short, or a good start on a longer piece. For all writers, fiction and nonfiction, of all levels of experience.
