CRWR 209 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Dramatic Structure, Flash Fiction
Document Summary
Lecture 9 outline the short short (microfiction/postcard stories) Extremely short stories that contain all the elements of larger work. >what are the seven characters of microfiction: events, characters, conflict/tention, a beginning, middle, end, a setting, a title, a strict word maximum. Not simplistic getting a whole short story into so few words requires a great deal of skill. Not a fragment-description of a scene or a character is not a flash fiction story, it"s just a fragment. Not easy a flash fiction story requires as much thought and planning as a longer story (maybe more!) Not quick spare, succinct, evocative writing can take much longer to create than longer work. >in the story love triangle, list the 5 points of basic story structure and give an example of each. Point of no return: i decided to be on the news.
