It seems like it would be easier to just go with the definition of microfic. Just...short stories with a character limit. Bite-sized, thought-provoking, provides an interesting challenge. Sometimes spaghetti is involved.

I would love to see their reaction when you do this and a stranger at the next table turns around and says "Wait, that's you?!"

Listen, this is so relatable,
@QuirkyCreator. Felt like I was reading my own tweet. -
I could definitely see that being your kind of tweet.

I feel like this is me on the daily, trying to explain to people that I write anonymous stories on Twitter. The worst was explaining that I was writing about a mouse with narcolepsy.

You say "I'm a micro fiction writer." They look impressed and confused. "It can be really stressful but I get great feedback from my readers. There's about <insert followers count>" They congratulate you.

Suggestion? You're a brilliant writer. Pick a couple of your favourites and show them as ice breakers. You don't have to sell anything: your words will do it for you.
