Yay for words!

[partly]

I've been writing fic with word limits lately (drabbles, double-drabbles and the like). I get the base of the story in and then I do a word count. I get really excited when it's under -- "Woo-hoo, I've got four words!" You can do a lot with four words, baby. Even more exciting is 12 words - that's a whole concept, a theme, a mood.

Yeah. I'm spending way too much time on these little bits of writing.

I will, however, share them all with you at some point.

I think that's why I find drabbles so addictive. It's the rush of getting the precise word count, woo hoo! (In my version of Word, I've put the word count status right on the bottom bar of the window so I can see as I type what word count I have and then it's a nail-biter, oooh, I only have 4 words left to say this, how can I do it?? Hee.)

Right? And just two words having to be shaved is DEVASTATING!

So much drama!!
