SUMMARY:Women’s Saltwater Fishing Clinic (Beaufort County): Fishing as Mental Therapy
DESCRIPTION:October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many studies have found that fishing allows you to disconnect from the demands of daily life\, chemotherapy\, and reconnect with nature. The only thing you need to focus on is casting that line\, and maybe\, just maybe\, the tug of a fish on the other end. \nSCDNR has partnered with the Beaufort Memorial Hospital and Gay Fish Company to host an event that allows breast cancer patients\, survivors\, and women in general to learn about fishing as a coping mechanism. This educational event will teach you the basics of saltwater fishing–and the best part? You’ll get to try out your newly learned skills by fishing off the dock at Gay Fish Company. All fishing supplies and bait will be provided. This is a catch-and-release program so no fish will be kept. Beaufort Memorial Hospital staff will provide educational outreach and materials\, talk about navigating the breast cancer journey\, and why women’s health is incredibly important. Gay Fish Company will be providing light appetizers and support for this event. Please register through the Eventbrite link as space is limited.

SUMMARY:Fireflies at Night: Flash Fiction Workshop Series\, Led by Amber Wheeler Bacon
DESCRIPTION:Writers from Grant Faulkner to Molly Giles have described flash fiction with metaphors ranging from a coyote appearing in your yard at night\, making the world a little more feral\, more dangerous\, to a firefly flickering on a summer’s night\, captivating and fleeting. They’re called flash\, microfiction\, short shorts. They’re the love child between a short story and a poem. Etgar Keret says they’re like Kool-Aid\, a partial story that only becomes real once it mixes with a reader. You get the point: flash fictions are things of beauty—short\, maybe\, but powerful\, otherworldly even. \nIn this class\, we’ll study some of the best flash fictions around\, from Amy Hempel to Venita Blackburn. We’ll write one to two flash fiction pieces each week and share our work for feedback in small groups. There will be optional homework and extra prompts for each week. The point of this class is to GENERATE\, to have fun\, to learn something new about stories and ourselves\, but mostly to create new work. Small flash prompts\, both fiction and nonfiction\, can be rejuvenating\, reminding me of the joys in small work\, the pleasures in a good line\, or even one word that can turn a whole story on its head. \nIt’s a busy time. While these classes do build on one another\, it’s also possible to attend only one\, two\, or three\, skipping those that fall on inconvenient nights. Those who sign up for all 4 classes will also have access to video recordings of the sessions. Whether you’re stuck in the middle of a big project or just want to practice writing in this form\, come join in and let’s write some fireflies. \nThis interactive writers workshop will be held as an online video conference call through Zoom. Details for joining the video call will be provided to all participating writers after registering. \nA series of 4 sessions: Wednesdays\, October 11 & 18 and November 1 & 8\, 6:00-8:00 p.m. on Zoom. Limited to 15 participants. (A minimum of five participants is needed for this workshop.) \n$150 for all 4 sessions + access to video recordings\, or $45/session Register in. advance at https://patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nStudent Testimonials\n“Wonderful teacher\, fabulous course. I learned so much.” \n“Amber Wheeler Bacon is a generous\, talented\, personable\, inspiring teacher.” \n“I found the prompts incredibly helpful. It helped me see the potential in stories that I would not have otherwise thought of.” \n“I really enjoyed all the different prompts\, especially because they each challenged me to think in a new way and seek out further creativity in my writing.” \nAbout Our Instructor\nAmber Wheeler Bacon is a writer\, editor\, and teacher whose work has appeared or is forthcoming in Crazyhorse\, Ecotone\, Epiphany\, Five Points\, New Ohio Review\, Post Road\, Prairie Schooner and Witness.
