“Kathy Fish worked her magic today! The magician waved her wand, and in 90 minutes, we had three new flash pieces, rough, unsteady on their newborn feet, but moving. Thank you!” ~
Hi everyone! I'm very excited to announce my upcoming ALL NEW 3-in-90 generative workshop series! Workshops will run on Saturdays, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time U.S. May 11th, June 15th, and August 10th.
These 90 minute live sessions (on Webex, similar to Zoom) will have you writing to prompts aimed at breaking through writing blocks and innovating with the flash form. Expect to leave each session with three new flash drafts. These workshops have resulted in many published and anthologized stories for the hundreds of students who have taken part!
“In order to be creative, you have to know how to prepare to be creative…” ~Twyla Tharp
In this engaging, interactive three-part series we will begin with some fun and interesting activities and prompts that will prime our brains for creative expression. From these, we will put together “toolboxes” for story writing, equipping ourselves with our own unique word banks, vocabulary, images, characters, settings, even titles. In the final session we will draw on these tools to draft rich, resonant stories that might not otherwise be written had we not arrived at the page primed, prepared, energized, and inspired.
Though Ready! Set! Write! is designed as a three-part series, you may opt to take an individual workshop or two instead. All sessions will be recorded and everyone who registers will have lifetime access to the recording. Though the live sessions are lots of fun, some participants understandably prefer to watch the recording and work through the prompts on their own time.
$50 per session. EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: Get the complete series for $100 through Friday, April 26th. Best value! Register HERE

Discovering Your Themes & Your Creative Turn-Ons: Exploration

Sat. June 15th (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time)
Delving into the Subconscious & Dream Work: Excavation
Readings, prompts, discussion. An interactive session designed to help us dig deeper, unearth our inimitable stories, creating drafts of surprising depth and beauty.
Sat., August 10th (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time)
Boldly Going: Drafting with Confidence
Here, we’ll take everything we’ve learned from the previous two sessions, using these tools to hone and polish existing drafts as well as create new work. This session will include lots of sharing and discussion. Expect to emerge from this series with newfound excitement and confidence around writing the stories only YOU can write.
NEW: OPT IN FOR TEXT MESSAGE REMINDERS
Many of you have requested a backup notification system via text message. You now have the option to provide your phone number to receive confirmations and reminders about upcoming workshops and seminars. Your number will NOT be shared or used for any other purpose.
TERMS/CANCELLATION POLICY: Payment due upon registration. There is no refund for cancelled live "3 in 90" workshops, but recordings will be made available to all registrants.
Thank you all so much. I feel extremely honored by your continued support and enthusiasm for my workshops. Let me know if you have any questions. ~Kathy
Kathy I would love to join you for this trio but I am already over-committed. Next time! And a thousand thanks for everything you do!
