100 Stories
arenson9 has challenged me to write 100 stories of 100 words or less. I accept.
My plan is to post a new story every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. That gives me one day to write a first draft and one day to edit.
I just wrote the first one this morning in about an hour, from the idea I had while I was on vacation. My first draft was 250 words. It took considerably more time to cut the story down to size than it did to write it. I wonder if 100 words, while long enough to describe a plot, is too short to create the emotional impact a story should have. I guess I'll keep going and let Andy decide if he wants to alter the conditions.
