#34: Let's vote!
Short fiction prompts, historical mail updates
Hi, friends.
For those of you who’ve never been here for voting time, welcome! Each month, paid subscribers and my precious Patreon crew get to vote on the upcoming microfiction’s required word and action, plus the following month’s historical mail topic.
Today we’ll keep it short and sweet as we…
💌 vote on the required action and word for our monthly micro fiction,
💌 discuss April’s historical mail theme, AND
💌 suggest future mail topics!
🗳 Voting time
This month’s story will revolve around March’s historical mail spelunking adventure, the wildcard poet Fernando Pessoa:
#33: Fernando Pessoa, Pt. 1
In an era of intense connectivity, we’re expected to answer texts and emails with a punctuality that would’ve made our ancestors’ heads spin. And when we’re not doing that, there’s always some bright, shiny terror on the news or social media to keep us hooked online.
If you haven’t read this month’s article, now’s a great time to do so.
Will my microfiction be about Pessoa’s heteronyms? Or maybe I’ll write as his mother? Perhaps I’ll weave a yarn as his glass of port in his favorite bar. Your votes will shape the story!
As always, once voting closes, I’ll have just 72 hours to write a story based on your prompts and linked to this month’s historical snail mail topic.
So upgrade that subscription, honey (or try the $2/monthly option over at Patreon) and get voting today:
For everyone who’s already on board…
