I’m excited to be running year four of LATE SUMMER SHORTS, a writing-prompts intensive at Left Margin Lit with my dear friend and teaching buddy Rachel Sarah.

Here’s what I love about this intensive online course:

• The prompts work for all genres
• The prompts are like inspiring little nuggets that get your creative butt in the chair, and they’re DELIVERED TO YOU LIKE A TAKEOUT CURRY, which is hands down my most preferred method of being inspired (or fed)
• It’s asynchronous, so you can work from any time zone
• There is always a lovely little community that forms in a short time frame, with returning writers and new writers, and all are welcome and encouraged
• It’s affordable—$5/prompt, people!

Here’s the more formal description:

This group offers writing inspiration and motivation in that wonderful time between summer and fall. “Flash” is just what it sounds like—you can write it in a flash. Some people call these “short-shorts” or “micro-stories.” What about prose poems? Your choice. Come write one page a day (350 words or fewer) in a supportive online community. The class is asynchronous, so you can join from any time zone and any location!   On September 8th, you’ll come up with a concrete writing goal for the following 10 days, whether it’s to draft 10 short shorts, prose poems, or hybrid forms. You could even commit to 10 paragraphs of a short story or the novel you’ve been struggling to finish. Prompts will focus on different aspects of craft and voice, and are designed to challenge and motivate—and be fun.

On Slack. Sharing is optional but encouraged!
