Today we learn to write micro-memoirs. These are short stories that really capture the essence of an experience, sometimes in just one sentence. Whether you write a blog, post on Instagram, or just want to process the details of your day-to-day life in a new way, this show will give you fun exercises to try. Our guest is Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs. She's also the poet laureate of Mississippi.  Thanks to Stackry.com for supporting this program.
