100-word stories are called “drabbles”. I used to think this was after Margaret Drabble, the English writer (whom I had confused for a moment with Margaret Atwood, the Canadian writer), but Wikipedia says it’s a Monty Python reference. How disappointing.
Ah, thanks for pointing out – I like the word! Per Wikipedia the fad originated right here in Birmingham, England. But we can call them “Atwoods” if you like; or maybe “Attrees” (being a fraction of an Atwood? or is that a pun too far?).
I am also practicing to write 100-word stories https://myenglishparadise.wordpress.com/category/essays-fiction/100-word-stories/, trying to make it exactly in 100 words… turns out to be quite challenging!
Yeah! I once tried to write some that were exactly 100 words, each comprising a single sentence, with no word used more than once per story; but they came out (as you might expect) a little too stilted!
Brilliant! Love these. I love your blog although have to admit I rarely understand the mathsy stuff. Words AND numbers – Rare talent!
Should of course have added AND artwork …
The artwork? :O See, now I *know* you’re being too kind.
Write more! :O
These messed me up. I just want you to know that.
This was profoundly different from your usual posts. This was also amazing
To say that the overwhelming majority of service reviews is controversial is to say nothing. Most students emphasize delayed delivery, poor communication with the support team, and low overall quality of the papers. https://bestpaperwritingservicereviews.com/reviews/writemypapers-review
