Here’s what we’ll dish about!
Love is weird. The world is crazy. And writers – we’re strange people hell-bent on writing about it all somehow.
In this craft chat, we’ll dish on the secrets to writing and publishing sexy and surreal short form writing. Short form is poetry, hybrid, flash, prose poems, or – as the Chill Subs vibe filter goes – “wtf is genre anyway.”
Short form writing is here to stay, there’s no denying that. Pick up any of the cool edgy indie lit books and so many of their “chapters” resemble prose poems. Even the Big Five are cashing in. Flash fiction continues to get more and more popular. Is it just easier to write? More practical with all our writerly economic realities? Or is there also something inherently magical and alluring about trying to capture in quick spasms the utterly uncontainable experience of life? Who the fuck knows!
Well, let’s try to find out together (even though we won’t come to any conclusions, we can still have fun along the way, reading and decoding some sexy poetry, surreal flash, and getting into some good ole’ literary hot goss). You know you want to.
Darn/ damn! I have a major conflict. Will I be able to see a taped version?
