One of the online communities I'm in has weekly drabble challenges (a drabble is a story in exactly 100 words). Once I get an idea I can normally write a first draft in about five or ten minutes, and the first draft is usually about 150 - 180 words. It can then take anything from a few hours to a few days Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764329434741342023.post-19560485152871328302010-09-29T10:42:19.753+01:002010-09-29T10:42:19.753+01:00I love writing these short pieces, Carol.

Quite satisfying too, as you say.joanne foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12694158807826275846noreply@blogger.com
