Microfiction Readings to Rampage Melbourne Cityscape

Ethan Switch - Monday, 17 May, 2004 - 20:46:09 - print it raw

Asserting their brand of head space on the minds and eyes of the Melbourne city walkers, young writers condensed into familial expression limits of 25 words or less. Presented by Express Media, ACMI and rok media, the Microfiction event will run from 18 to 30 May as part of the 2004 Next Wave festival.

Flashing up on the city's LED screens, around twenty young wordsmiths will have their pieces running across the displays ranging from extremely short shots of narrative, fiction, commentary and textual massage. Stated on the line, "the intention is to encourage young writers to experiment with writing stories in less than twenty five words." Territorially, this method of stricture closes many minds entering competitions of such unlimited expression.

Opportunities such as this come along all the time, scriveners seeking to legitimise and/or publicise their words on toilet doors may seem to find it a harder battle.

Articles and all that more wordy stuff

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
