Twitter Sale
I neglected to mention this before, but a little while ago a wrote a short “prose poem” specifically for Jetse de Vries’ Twitter project, Outshine. Apparently he liked it, because he offered me money for it. It’s only 14 words, but with the payment that comes out to more than 35 cents per word and that’s the highest I’m likely to ever be paid for a piece of short fiction.
I’m not sure when it will appear, but I will link to it when it does.
I find the whole concept of Twitter “fiction” fascinating, as well as other nano-forms, and I like what Jetse’s been doing.
I may have to put something together for his Shine anthology, too, now…
