the_rckIt's the middle of the week. I'm starting to get a feel for the shape of the week. It's not looking good for writing, unfortunately. How about you?
Today's discussion question is related to yesterday's. What's the shortest thing you've ever written? How do you feel about writing at that length? What worked and what didn't?
The shortest thing I've written came in at 211 words. It was a real challenge writing that short. It's not natural for me. I felt like I was giving just the barest breath of a story and not something entire in itself. I mean, if it had needed to be longer, I'd have written it that way. It just didn't feel quite natural. Then again, I think, in this case the brevity works. It's a grim little thing.
