In My Beginning is My End: Structuring Your Short Fiction
In this session we will look at how to make a short story feel satisfying and complete. We will be analysing stories, looking at techniques such as repetition, symbolism and imagery that writers use to create a semantic field of meaning, so that the end of the story is both surprising yet inevitable. We will then look at how to practice this in our own writing.
Date Sunday, January 30, 5 AM EST / 10 AM GMT / 3:30 PM IST
