RedBird-RedOak Writing

Many thanks to RB-RO writer, Pam Parker, for her terrific IDEAS notebook blogpost and to her readers who shared their own approaches to making the writer’s notebook work for them (and not the other way around!). NOTE: I swiped this photo from her website — stop by to see what they’re all about!

Sounds like there was lots of “heat” in Robert Vaughan’s recent workshop, “Flash in the Pan.” Participants ranged in aged from 18 – 70 (wow!) and included brand new faces (count ‘em 7!) and a bunch of writers who have been around the studio for a long time. They explored sample pieces and wrote a few of their own. An optional follow-up Roundtable will give them a chance to share their revised “flashes” for feedback on Thurs. May 26th. Many thanks to the participants and to Robert for sharing his love for and expertise in writing Flash Fiction!

What a great evening of powerful, eclectic writing! Thanks to our Roundtable readers who shared excerpts from their work: Laurel Landis, Susie Wirka, Kris Jaeger, Christi Clancy, Doug Jacobson, Maura Fitzgerald and Tom Biel. (And to all those in the audience and shop owner, Shari Franz, too!)
