Hah, I opened the app to make a post about #TinyTruth , then decided to search the hashtag to see if anyone had gotten the ball rolling. Hello, fellow #CNFtweet creator.
I think "skeet" is the colloquial term that people love to hate here, and nothing else has caught on yet. So... #CNFskeet? ;)

Who remembers #cnftweet and #tinytruth ? Those were some of my favorite happening on Twitter. Here's an early one of mine. What could we call them here? #Skybits?
I'd love to see yours.

I got on Twitter in the Fall of ‘09 because William Bradley said there was a creative nonfiction contest on it, #cnftweet. By the Summer of ‘17 he was dead from cancer. I never got his debut book Fractals signed by him. I miss him.

Ghosting out of your bed before dawn, I look back to see a flag of moonlight on the floor beneath your outstretched arm. But it's just a pillow you tossed aside during the night. I tip the door shut behind me. #cnftweet

While the new owners gut the cat lady's house, a different feral feline shows up early each morning to inspect the previous day's predation. #cnftweet

When their voices rise & slap against each other, I change the channel, leave the room: if only it had been so easy back then. #cnftweet

The raw pale gash where the limb once was darkens back into the trunk, and new leaves flutter out: How trees hide their wounds. #cnftweet

The stoop guardian takes one look at me & points to a building white with construction permits: "The new people are over there." #cnftweet

Each day at the office reminds her of every other day; each keycard, all keycards; this conference room, every abandoned plan. #cnftweet

Today I am fixating on basement bunkers, Faraday cages and cemetery plots. A #signofthetimes, or just my time? #cnftweet

"Move your ass out of my sightline," he hisses from behind her. When the dancer sways left, he hustles in on the right. #cnftweet #Brooklyn
