Heaven forbid my readers get tired of me!
This week, I'm honored to have my editor, Jan Ackerson, share from her blog, One Hundred Words. Be sure to check it out.
A few words from Jan about "One Hundred Words"...
Ernest Hemingway once said that his best novel was this six-word treasure: For Sale — baby shoes, never used.
I’m no Hemingway, but I’ve always been intrigued by the power of just a
few well-chosen words. I’m going to give myself one hundred words per
entry—not a single word more nor less—and I plan to write a variety of
character studies, observations, and slices of life. If you meet a
character here who intrigues you, feel free to drop her into your own
writing project. If you want to know what happens next—you’ll have to write it yourself.
