In your bio, you mention postmodernism and critical realism. So give us an example of a favorite from each genre.
Oh, gosh, I really have no idea what those things mean. I just thought it sounded cool.
Aside from flash, what other sorts of writing do you do? Any preferences?
I mostly write poetry, haiku and short stories. I prefer very short forms, as a way of paring experience down to its core. Also, I don’t have much of an attention span.
How much of this story is fiction and how much of it is creative non-fiction?
Everything’s true except what I made up.
As a self-professed poetry idiot, I can’t express how much I love the last line of this. Do you yourself “get poetry?” And if not, what’s the barrier?
I get poetry the same way I get music. On an intuitive level, beyond reason and semantics.
In its third year, The March Micro Marathon will be, as usual, a prompt-a-day whirlwind for 24 days. You’ll exchange drafts of micro fiction, non-fiction, and prose poetry in small groups and gather for a series of online events (all recorded for participants unable to attend live). We’ll finish with 3 competitions, and participants who are not already in SmokeLong Fitness will be invited to workshop with SmokeLong Fitness until the end of April!
