From borrowed forms, to plural POV, from breathless paragraphs, to code-switching, and so much more, let’s stretch our storytelling limbs and dive into the depths of what a micro can do for your writing. Join us as we explore your childhood memories, your mother tongue, your knowledge of myths and fairy tales to write that perfect and compelling story in a tiny but deep package.
