Me, me, me! And a few others - may the best micros reach the next stage! #microfiction #writersunited (Are there hashtags over here? Just making a few up).
Because I'm 8 hours behind the UK, things are a bit out of kilter! So as it wouldn't go live until late in the UK day tomorrow if I wait until my tomorrow morning to post it, here now is the Monthly Micro longlist. Congrats if you made it, sorry if you didn't! www.retreatwest.co.uk/monthly-micr...
