Yes, I dabbled in a drabble. That is, a teensy tiny story. And it was fun.
One of my fellow #100kwords100days members, Gerald Hornsby, mentioned an anthology that was looking for sci-fi and fantasy stories just 100 words long. As I had a bit of time on my hands that day and submissions were about to close, I had a go.
It’s amazing how much editing you can do on a 100 word story, which is ironic (you’ll see why in a minute). But I sent off my drabble, entitled Valhalla, and hey presto! it was accepted into 100 Worlds: Lightning-Quick SF and Fantasy Tales . I got the ebook for free but didn’t get a chance to look at it – anyway I fancied the paperback, which arrived today.
And after all that editing – I find that they’ve replaced a painstakingly positioned semi-colon with a comma, changing the whole feel of the sentence. Oh, it’s a hard life…
