New micro is in the latest issue of @south85journal.bsky.social! Lots of great writers in this issue.

This piece came from a @kathyfish.bsky.social prompt many years ago. Always grateful for her wisdom.

Just finished a writing workshop with @kathyfish.bsky.social. Brilliant fun, and I generated two new micro drafts that are worth revising to finish. All in 90 minutes. Check out Kathy's workshops when they next come up. You'll have fun, and do some writing. See you there!
