Wednesday Short Story from Thousand Word Blog

By
Real Estate Agent with Signature Realty Inc.

 

For some of us it is "Wordless Wednesday" but around here Wednesday means there is a new post over on the Thousand Word Blog.

 

Let me give you a little background info on this blog:

"The Thousand Word Blog was founded by a law student who wanted to ensure that writing never became a chore. Instead of legal writing all the time and allowing writing to no longer be an enjoyable hobby, I set out to challenge myself every week. I decided to write one thousand words a week for fun! No legal writing. Instead, I will write a thousand words of fiction. Every week, I find a picture and since a picture is worth a thousand words, I find those thousand words and write a short story! Every Wednesday I will post a short story on this blog and I hope that you will enjoy it and share with all of your friends!"

 

One of my favorite stories on the blog is titled; "The Jars" (March 11, 2015)  

If you're looking for a break, check out some of the archived stories!! The author is someone near and very dear to my heart!!

Good morning Kim. Can't do it, that would be too much writing for me. I give anyone credit for doing it.

Hi Kim.  I clicked over to it.  I couldn't read it.  I got bored quickly with veggies, bakers, etc.

Kim,

What a neat idea!  I'm wondering if we have a short story writing group here in the Rain....

Kim,

Good for you...we have a different goal and that is to make sure that we say things as succinctly as possible and limit ourselves to 250 words if at all possible.  Thanks for the link/  A

Kim- I am definitely going to check it out!  I wrote a 1000 word post last year and it was tough.  I do admire people who can crank out these things with ease.

Hello Kim,

That is impressive as most of the posts are lucky to hit 300 words (and that's if it is for a contest!)

There aren't too many topics that could hold my interest for a thousand word blog.

Good morning Kim Johnson ,

I have to admit I agree with Roger D. Mucci . More than lack of interest lack of time.

I was also visited by the spammers.

You short story blog is a great idea. I went to law school but never acquired a talent for writing fiction.

Maybe you will write about one of my flower photographs as part of your series.

Kim Johnson I thoroughly enjoyed this post. All the Legal research and writing was perhaps one to the biggest reasons to get out of Law. Too boring. This fellow discovered an 'escape valve'. Great post!

Kim, I have actually written some 1000 word posts, and now I hear that Google is looking for 2000 word posts to rank us higher in the SERPS.

Kim, the Thousand Word Blog is news to me. I will check it out. Like some others, I find it hard to find 250 words, and I don't write for fun! :)
