Discussion Topic!!

How do you construct short fiction, especially those with hard word counts like for Picfor1000 (must be exactly 1000 words) or in true drabbles (exactly 100 words), where every word counts? Do you have your theme/idea and stick close to it so that every word brings it together or do you do something else?

I brainstorm.

I write short, then I edit like hell.

Sounds like a master plan! *g*

I always mess up with the "edit like hell"- I'm too wordy in general.
