It's not fiction and it's not poetry, just my (studied) opinion, but it did make the New York Times' ROOM FOR DEBATE.
I cut my doctoral teeth on prescription drug abuse and prescription monitoring programs, and to winnow down my opinion to ~300 words in 2 hours was a bit of a challenge.
Subjects near and dear to my heart.
Several times while figuring out what to say, and how, I kept thinking: Thank God I can write micro-fiction. I can write short and fast. For all you freelancers, I don't know how you do it on deadline, day after day.
Peace...
