I love what you said about "sculpting" your stories during revision. This is my favorite part, too! Seeing where I can surgically remove a word or two or three or replace a phrase with a single word that resonates even more strongly than the original phrase. Thanks, forever, for introducing me to microfiction. And thanks, Erica, for all you do to keep fiction thriving on Substack!
Thanks for the mention, Justin! π

Aww, thanks, my friend. Itβs honestly such a fun process, and Iβve noticed the positive impact it has on my own writing!
Hope you are having a wonderful summer! π
