No matter what my limit is, my first draft is short. My five-page papers always started at 3. For work now, I'll often have, say 300 words to write, and I almost always end up with 250.
Whoa. Good myth.

Is anyone capable of not writing a brilliant... Me. Mine blew.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Mine blew.
If you wrote one that blew, you apparently didn't post it.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
I saw no blowing.
I enjoyed that. One of my favorite memories is of driving from Northeastern Oregon into Northwestern Idaho and down this narrow little road into a deep red rock canyon. I'd never tried to write it down before.
I'm going to have to try that again.

sumi, if you want to. I haven't caught up on LJ today yet.
Go Deb, that's great!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Sumi, by all means, post it here -- if you want. You don't have to.
And Deb -- W00t, indeed!

Excellent news Deb!
Thinking I'll leave my drabble where it is. Plus, I don't think it really fits the challenge.

It has an ISBN. That means Amazon has it - wonder if it's preorderable yet?
Off to look, and then maybe get some work done on Matty. Still unsure about the pacing.
