Short but sweet

So it’s only 75 words, and there’s no payment, but I do feel quite proud of getting a paragraph accepted on Paragraph Planet today. It’s one of my favourite websites for these (short) reasons:

• It takes less than a minute to read each daily paragraph but together they cover a huge range of genres, subjects and styles.

• Telling a story, introducing a character, or describing a scene in exactly 75 words forces a writer to examine every one of those words very carefully.

• If you want to improve your own writing skills you can click over to Paragraph Planet’s companion website Writing Workout and try some of its very short exercises.

 Now back to the  l-o-n-g  job of editing The Novel!
