Microfic Roundup

Trying daily microfiction has been interesting - and fun! A couple of things I’ve noticed:

• I’ve defaulted to first person in every one of these. I never write in first person. I have no idea why I’ve 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 “Home Safety Hotline” paints. I plan to explore this more.
• I don’t naturally do descriptions. Possibly due to my aphantasia? (Lack of mind’s eye/inability to visualise.) Characters are voices floating in a void to me, so when doing writing “sketch” exercises like this what they look like rarely even occurs to me until rereading it way later. I’m going to work on that.
