I recently became a patron of the arts! Well, sort of. You see, Yoon Ha Lee (who earlier this year released the utterly brilliant short story collection Conservation of Shadows – here’s my review) decided to raise some money by offering to write flash fiction stories for a small fee. You even get to pick a one or two word writing prompt for your story.

Being a huge fan of the author, I decided to jump on this opportunity. The resulting story, entitled “The Sunlit Horse”, has now been posted on the author’s Dreamwidth blog. You can read it here.

(By the way, the writing prompts I chose for this story are the words “son” and “sander”, and no, this has absolutely nothing to do with Brandon Sanderson at all. Those of you who know me will know why those words are meaningful to me on a very personal level.)

Thanks to Yoon Ha Lee for this beautiful story. And, as of the time I’m writing this, there are still two slots available for your own Yoon Ha Lee flash fiction!
