100 Word Story Contest. Week One. Open to all Steemians. 20 Steem and 700 Trail to be Won Every Week!
I used to think that the Broadsheet Newspaper journalists must earn way more than those from the tabloids. I was wrong!
It is only when you try to write the whole story in a quarter of the words that you realise the skill required by the shorter form.
The 100 Word Story Contest is designed to stretch your imagination and indulge your vocabulary. How evocative can you be? How can you awaken the senses? Is their space for characterisation? Of course!
SteemTrail and @ebryans are excited to present this engaging initiative. On a weekly basis there will be a new theme about which to write your 100 word (or less) stories. So, please get involved with the very active and popular writing side of steemit.

I need to be more specific, I know. I am terribly sorry - if you use #100words, you will be fine.
Thank you for being so helpful!

Hi @writing-trail, I just stopped back to let you know your post was one of my favourite reads and I included it in my Steemit Ramble. You can read what I wrote about your post here.
What is poetry or be less than 100 words ....
Apologies but I do not understand the question!
Poetry is more than welcome, as long as it is a poem of 100 words or less.
I look forward to your entry. Namaste!
Okey
This looks very cool.
Oh good! Thank you - I do hope that you have fun with this. Always a pleasure to receive a happy response. Are you home yet? I hope all is on the mend! Namaste!
