I was thinking recently about how much I missed writing dialogue. This piece I wrote for the "my body, my choice" inaugural issue of Hot Flash Literary uses lots of dialogue and is very short. I'd love for you to read it and the whole amazing debut issue! 💙 hotflashliterary.com/wyoming/

I love Bernadette Mayer's list of writing experiments & try them sometimes. Most recently, I created a story where I "systematically deranged the language," filling it with gerunds and passive verbs. I love the result, but I don't know that an editor would. www.writing.upenn.edu/library/Maye...
