This month, my patrons are receiving an exclusive flash piece<\/a>, “An Alphabetical Guide to Potential Building Materials for Aspiring Urban Planners.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I wrote this for the annual flash fiction contest I participate in every January\/February. The goal is to write a piece of flash every weekend for five weeks. Last week was two of five. I had some trouble revving up my thought process until, with the deadline looming, I focused on the prompt, “What is your kingdom built of?”<\/span><\/p>\n

As you might be able to tell from the title, it’s a bit (a lot) silly.<\/span><\/p>\n

All my patrons receive an exclusive reward each month. There’s no specific amount required. I’m happy to share my creations with everyone who subscribes to my Patreon<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

A is for Alligators<\/span><\/p>\n

Challenging for inexperienced planners. They <\/span>will <\/span><\/i>bite when you try to stack them.<\/span><\/p>\n

B is for Barricades<\/span><\/p>\n

Though barricades make good walls by definition, beware barricading yourself out of your own city.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

C is for Carbonara<\/span><\/p>\n

Messy, but delicious. Do not continue eating your city after it’s been left unrefrigerated for more than three hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to all my current patrons. Every dollar helps keep me writing!<\/span><\/p>\n
