It’s the first of February 2024, so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of January. (Full Disclosure: I cheated and also included the handful of Flash Fiction bits I’d tweeted during December, I didn’t have enough in either month for a full collection post.)

Usually, I only post Science Fiction and Fantasy #MicroStories. The past months were no exception. I guess?
It’s the first of December 2023, so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of November.

Once upon a time, for really great #MicroStory action, I used to recommend people to please follow @MicroSFF, the Twitter account that inspired me to participate in this minimalist writing exercise. That feed used to put out great science fiction and fantasy MicroStories all the time. Because of the terrible situation on Twitter (now called X) with Elon Musk losing advertisers reportedly because he can’t stop courting or promoting fascist content (many people are saying this, I’m just innocently observing what many people are saying) I recently saw that the @MicroSFF was ceasing their tweets on Twitter, and focusing instead on Instagram and Threads. I offered them a BlueSky invite, but they respectfully declined, saying that they were waiting for BlueSky to become more open.
It’s the first of November 2023, so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of October.

It’s the first of June 2023, so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of May. (Full disclosure, the last time I collected any of my flash fiction tweets was in May of 2022 – I did do some sporadic microstory tweeting during the interim before last month, but it was so sparse I have collected those random lonely stories and added to the ones I did tweet in May. I’ll try to do better.)

It’s the first of April, 2022 (I promise this is not an April Fool’s Joke) , so I went through my social media feeds and grabbed all of the MicroStories I’d tweeted during the month of March.
As a reminder, these represent story-essences composed using no more than 269 characters (so I could tweet them with the hashtag #MicroStory.)
Usually, I only tweet Science Fiction and Fantasy #MicroStories. March was no exception. OR WAS IT? Well, it wasn’t outside of the Fantasy genre, I guess. But usually, I write a random microstory during the month, and any one microstory has no relationship to the previous one I’d written, or the next one that I’d write. (That’s not always this case.) For March, I decided that every microstory that I’d write would be related, all would take place in the same setting established by the first story.
