Today, I edited one micro fiction.

New jobs are truly exhausting, so I’m really proud of myself for keeping up this micro writing thing. Obviously writing every day doesn’t make you a writer, but the act of doing something writer-ly has really made me feel better about who I am as a creative person. And for what it’s worth, the job is off to a great start, and I expect that to continue.

How were you creative today?

Love and gratitude, as always.

Apologies for disappearing! I started a new job this week (same organization but very different position), and between that and grad school, I’ve been a little all over the place. But, I’m happy to report that I have kept up my micro practice. I’m not writing a new one every day, but I have been revising every day. I finally wrote a new one yesterday, and I did the first step in my revision process this morning before work.

I’m planning to share micros with the free members of my Patreon as well, so please consider following me over there!.

Today, I edited some micros.

For whatever reason, I didn’t quite have it in me to write a new one today. I’ve been feeling really generative, but my original goal was just to write three a week, so I don’t feel too bad about skipping writing a new one. I revised two, one that was inspired by pop culture events, and another religious themed one. I’ll be curious to see if religion stays a consistent them for these works, or if something else will fall out.

Today, I wrote a micro, and edited a few more. (maybe this is becoming a micro writing blog?)

My current favorite three pieces are “Patient Statement,” “Edith, or Ado,” and “Lamprey,” though I’ve got two more finished. One is okay, the other is dogs***. but, that’s what happens when you try to write something every single day, I guess. They can’t all be excellent. Weirdly, quite a lot of what I’m writing has some religious overtones to it. If I ever get some high-paying Patreon supporters, I’m going to make chapbooks with these micros. A religious themed one could be interesting.

Today, I wrote a micro, and edited a few more.

I’m keeping track of all of this in a spreadsheet. The micros go through four stages: rough prose piece, edited down to a poem, written back up to a prose piece, and then edited into a final version (again, this whole process came from Writer-ish). I’m going great guns with it right now, so I’m writing a new draft plus working on revising pieces in various stages of the process. As of right now, I’ve got three completed pieces: “Patient Statement,” “Edith, or Ado,” and “Lamprey.” I’ve started grading them based on how successful of a piece I think they are, and the best ones are going to go on my Patreon. So right now, it looks like “Patient Statement” will be posted in a few days.
