I made my grad students this term write Twitter stories (I'll be giving a talk about that in June at the Great Writing Conference in Wales). I think playing to our shot internet attention spans can be entertaining!K. A.

It's a mini-action adventure set in Las Vegas.<BR><BR>I wrote a couple transitionary chapters at the end to transition into Chapter Two (which was originally Chapter One). <BR><BR>So props to your blog today.

How hard would this be!! It takes me 100 wo...Wow. How hard would this be!! It takes me 100 words--or 1000--just to get warmed-up, much less do a meaningful micro story. This is a great exercise. Sort of like a western world Haiku. Let's see, a word...hmmm. Since I'm mean, it's gotta be something difficult. How about...Lexicography. Learned this yesterday on another friend's blog.
