You know what? I will make an effort. Mondays could use some kind of structured break to think about not-work.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

I'd be happy to knock out a few drabbles.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd participate. I need a shove to get going on writing again.

Because books.
I'll brainstorm prompts during work tomorrow.
If they're all related to butter, sugar, or bread, I plead not guilty.

I'm fine with that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm wordy. 100 is hard for me. 1K is easier. 500 is a good compromise.

I used to be killer at drabbles; these days I have trouble writing anything under 5k. I need practice at short.

Because books.
I love the discipline of needing it to fit 100 words. Every story doesn't need to be told that way (or that short, obviously), but it helps me remember that every word counts and really think about which ones I want to use.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So if I am able to play, can I just confirm, drabbles are 100 words? And flash fic is 500 words? Hrm, I suspect 100 words will be a challenge for reasons Bev described. But I'd love a chance to write again. It's been hard.

I don't count words. If it seems a little long I'll tighten it up, but on the whole I don't worry about it.
