Congrats on the publication! I really enjoyed your other story as well.

Writing micro is so much fun. I completely agree with what you said. The constraints of the form make us consider word choice/economize language. I think it’s great practice for any writer! I know it’s helped me a ton.

Chevanne, congrats on getting published! Very cool story. I couldn't agree more regarding your take about condensed writing. I do find that constraint drives better creativity and in my case, takes away too much fluffy/cutesy language and an overabundance of description.

Yes. I like the fluffy bits for poetry but even those aren’t that long for me.

I just did a bunch of 6 word stories on Twitter. That’s also a nice exercise.
