For now at least. LOL
Final story comes in at 1197 words.
And while I think the story may have been better with a scene included that I was forced to cut, I'm actually far more satisfied with the end result than I thought I would be.
Fingers crossed that the judges feel the same way.

Words, words, words....
I have often been accused of being too wordy.
See, I like to communicate clearly, and sometimes I feel like the wordiness is necessary to get my point across correctly the first time.
Others disagree. :)
But my wordiness is currently biting me in the backside. I am in progress on a contest piece. A short story to be inspired by the song "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" from Elton John.
And my concept for the story is damned good, if I do say so myself.
I feel like I'm probably about halfway finished. About 1050 words so far.
The contest requires the story to be between 1000 and 1200 words.
Yeah, so...heavy editing to come? LOL
