No words are adequate

Poetry sometimes inspires prose, or vice versa... words spun from mourning my friend appear this day at SIX SENTENCES

Also found out a drabble* of mine is accepted into Boston Literary Magazine's Best of Boston Chapbook and will appear online in June.

Peace, Linda

*A drabble you ask? A story complete in 100 words. Try it - for fun. Harder than it looks...

  2. I went over and read your six sentences. True, no words are adequate, but yours were certainly moving.

  3. Congrats on the drabbling. The story under 100 words sounds hard.

  4. I haven't tried drabbling yet...haha! It seems hard to write but I think I can do it. I wonder if I can write a coursework assignment in 100 words...kidding! Goodluck with your drabbling.

  5. Thanks all, I'm drabbling all over the place ;^D

    Funny, I can write short-short stuff and looooooong stuff, but can't pen a 'proper' short story. Someday, perhaps... Peace, Linda

  7. Cindy, thank you for your kind words here and at 6S. Hugs to you. I read of your friend's loss; these calamities makes every second seem so contingent. Too contingent. Peace, Linda
