I’ve started this 100 word post thing and I like it. It’s a micro-vignette on a single idea expressed without much attention to perfection.
It’s really a good thing — I can write these things really fast and gives my writing practice at least a pulse.
Of course the strategy here is to parlay this kind of writing into a cornerstone craft — something I do everyday like coffee or running or push-ups or taking a shower.
So far I’m failing, though. I tend to write a bunch of make-up posts in one sitting and then don’t write for a few days until. That defeats the idea, and is the reason why you see several posts with dates at the end (indicating when the post was actually written and published). 6/28
