Tiny Truths, Big Fun

I'm completely excited to have a tweet published in the Summer 2015 edition of Creative Nonfiction.



Ta-dah! My first anything published in a magazine on sale at my local bookstore!

To join the tiny fun, tweet your own microessay at #cnftweet. No charge. No rules except for the 140 character limit. The magazine retweets choice #cnftweets and also publishes a selection of the retweets in their newsletter and magazine. (Check out the official instructions here, under Tiny Truths) It's a great community of writers in the chaos of the twittersphere. And there's nothing like a little tweet-favorited star to nurse one past a creative block or a rejection letter.

I'm the little black cat @RileyMaclean.

Hope to see you there!

P.S. If you can't handle the tiny, Creative Nonfiction does feature full length works as well (alright, mostly). It's one of the few magazines I read cover to cover. "Wait Times," the winner of the Best Essay Prize this issue, is an essay I think every nurse should read.
