This time - which is the only one I can remember! - I had roughly 80 words in my first draft, then 120, and finally whittled it down to 100.<br />I discarded a sentence about him drooling over the strippers, and I wanted the girls to feel uneasy in their dressing room (I suppose that should be 'un-dressing room!) so tis format often has me wishing I could write more.<br />That's not much help, I'm afraid :(liz younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289501717229347872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-27203687676754738442015-06-28T10:02:33.454+01:002015-06-28T10:02:33.454+01:00Another sympathiser for my vampire villain!Another sympathiser for my vampire villain!liz younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289501717229347872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-69503190739469075182015-06-28T00:57:05.578+01:002015-06-28T00:57:05.578+01:00I like Jean-Claude, despite his tastes.

I'm always amazed at how you manage to achieve such a smooth flow, and cover so much in your 100 worders. This one is no exception. May I ask - do you write to the length or go beyond and edit it back to 100 words? I often find I end up with storyline gaps and a choppy feel after editing.margirenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852245574666501383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872436458316103784.post-67755187866074776382015-06-27T18:14:41.276+01:002015-06-27T18:14:41.276+01:00I am so glad I missed seeing the garlic when I saw...I am so glad I missed seeing the garlic when I saw the prompt ;) Else the vampire bent would have touched my story too.
