The Microstories Project
This is cool: Dale Keiger wants true stories of things that happen on the Solstice this year. That’s this Saturday. The stories have to be brief (250 words), they have to be true (Keiger teaches non-fiction writing), and they have to happen on that day. It would be even cooler if the result were distributed as a book, but for a first effort, PDF will suffice. Now all I have to do is hope something interesting happens on Saturday that I can describe in 250 words. Jakob Nielsen is always talking about the importance of microcentent in the Internet age; it’ll be interesting to see if years of writing e-mail has led people to be able to compose coherent plots in so few words.
