<\/a>Just last weekend I finished up with another two-week Fast Flash\u00a9 Workshop<\/a>\u00a0AND a weekend flash fiction workshop with Word Tango. Both, I believe, were a success! The two-week group were extremely talented and hard-working and just all-around great. I’m happy to hear they have formed their own workshop now and they’re calling it: \u00a0“The Fish Tank!”<\/p>\n
