I’ve been having a good time the past few weeks writing stories of exactly one hundred words long along with a number of others over at Viking Cat’s site. Given the minimal effort in writing such a short short story, the return is very high.
Constraint breeds creativity — pretty much all the stories posted there weekly are better than they have any right to be. Plus, every week there are a few that really hit home for me.
It’s also nice to have a well posed, externally generated, writing task every week. Keeps me brain’s creative writing muscles exercised.
