Absolutely gorgeous. I love discovering new to me Aussie writers. Hey @thisisguan.bsky.social Your micro is awesome! I’m in Melbourne, and I write but nowhere near as awesome as you.

Completely not true - Sumitra is 100% awesome in all senses of that word! As a person AND as a writer. Have you read her micro from last year's shortlist that won the People's Prize? A stunner: https://mattkendrick.co.uk/welkin-prize/shortlist-24#grandmother-paati
