My 100-Word Secret
I am often asked by people, “How are you able to write a complete story in 100 words?”
Well, sometimes I tell them something like, “I just condense one of my unpublished novels.”
Or I say, “I write my story, not paying any attention to the word count, and my smartphone has an app that revises it into 100 words.”
They seldom believe either of my explanations.
But it usually ends the questioning, and that's really what I want to do.
I certainly don't want other people to know my secret of writing a story in exactly 100 words.
