Little leaps of imagination
The short story is an exacting, exhilarating form. Anything is possible, as long as you can make it convincing. In this course we will be looking at creative ways to mine your own life for telling detail while at the same time exploring the limitless potential of the imagination. Along the way we will talk about characterisation, story structure, intention, theme and much more.
