RE: Lost to the Sea -- Fifty word short

in #fiftywords6 years ago

Great work. Both story and painting. I too am loving the push to really make that 50 word story the best it possibly can be. My husband does not comprehend how it can take me that many hours to fix a story so short...

Sort:  

After you've done a couple edits you start thinking "if only I could have fifty more words!" But that would ruin the exercise. It almost seems like it would be easier with more words. I'm very excited to take this short and expand it tenfold... of course, then maybe I'll be thinking "if only I could have five-hundred more."

Yup. It will be an interesting challenge. See if we can get the depth without turning them into novels... I'd like to stay under 1000.
