I am trying this right now and it is so much harder than I first thought it would be! There is so much pressure on each word to be the perfect one to convey the short (crazy-short!) story. Where do you start?! I’ve always found that long prose is my type of thing because there is time to describe setting, characters, and motivations, but here there is no time to do explain anything and it’s actually quite scary. How do you pick the magic words that leaves the reader wanting more than what you have given them?
