Writing such short fiction is most likely challenging as you say, though you did great at it Uma. :) Albeit I had to read it twice as I could interpret this in at least two different ways...or is that just me?! ;) <3
ReplyDeleteExactly, Elly, to be able to write precisely and crisply does pose a challenge and chances are that the piece can be interpreted in more than one way. I'm eager to see how I perform on the grid. Thank you for your encouragement <3
DeleteHa ha! That was fun and in just 42 words. aren't you so awesome? I just cannot write fewer words - look at my comments. Already 20+ :)
ReplyDeleteNot awesome at all, Parul. You must read the veterans on the grid. Thank you so much for showing your appreciation <3
