Microfic Roundup
January 05-12
Trying daily microfiction has been interesting - and fun! A couple of things Iāve noticed:
- Iāve defaulted to first person in every one of these. I never write in first person. I have no idea why Iāve gone straight to it when writing short form. Pondering whether to embrace it or try and branch out. Microfic is ideal for experimenting after all.
- Urban fantasy sprung to mind a fair amount. I love worlds like āHome Safety Hotlineā paints. I plan to explore this more.
- I donāt naturally do descriptions. Possibly due to my aphantasia? (Lack of mindās eye/inability to visualise.) Characters are voices floating in a void to me, so when doing writing āsketchā exercises like this what they look like rarely even occurs to me until rereading it way later. Iām going to work on that.
