Passing on some writing advice from my then five-year-old in case it's helpful to anyone in this new year

Received feedback on a flash piece this morning with comments that it is close, and suggestions to clarify and tighten, and WHY CAN'T I SEE THIS IN MY OWN WORK?!!!

Happy to share my newest micro memoir at Five Minutes. Full of questions my kid asks. Seriously. How DO birds sit on eggs without cracking them? www.fiveminutelit.com/five-minutes...

Can't begin to describe my excitement about making the long list! Congratulations to all.

It's delightful scrolling here amid so much writing brilliance.

Get your micros in!

It's like a breath of fresh air over here.
