/ October 12, 2014Loved these examples of Quick and Hard Hitting (especially Death Row Hugger by Nancy Stohlman). I’ve always had a particular problem with too much, especially when it comes to word count. In fact, I once participated in an exercise of writing a story with only 49 words every single day for a year (it was my age at the time), in an attempt to learn the art of Less is More. It was a good exercise, but I still tend to ramble on and on forever, never quite happy with the end result. 🙂
