Where does a short story come from, and how do you find that first impulse to start writing one? There’s no single answer. It might be a world you want to explore, either one you already know well, or something you need to research or invent. It might be a story you want to tell from your own experience, or cultural inheritance, or an outlandish what-if. Or it might be a voice you want to inhabit: a particular perspective, or a certain way of using language, even if you don't yet know what world or story it belongs to. Using a blend of writing exercises, and readings of contemporary short fiction, we explore the many exciting possibilities of the form.
