William Reese Hamilton likes moments–not just breathless, passionate, violent moments that flash and pop, but also quiet, subtly fashioned moments that hang before you like a Monet or Cezanne or Hopper. Sometimes when he’s not writing, he rides a river or a wave off the coast of Venezuela, or walks the trails into the mountain rainforest above his colonial town of Choroní. Sometimes he just stares at his swimming pool or the wind in the banana trees. What the hell, he’s old.

Interview: Smoking With William Reese Hamilton
The core workshop of SmokeLong Fitness is all in writing, so you can take part from anywhere at anytime. We are excited about creating a supportive, consistent and structured environment for flash writers to work on their craft in a community. We are thrilled and proud to say that our workshop participants have won, placed, or been listed in every major flash competition. Community works.
