Hi, ho.

If you think your writing is getting flabby, try this one.

Write a story in 100 words.  We'll let you get by (this time) with the title not being counted.  But all the rest (characterization, plot, scene, voice, etc.) should fit into that 100 words.

So for a three-act play, you've got about 30 words for each act.

Keep it tight.

And write!

(65 words, not counting this postscript :-)
