Succinctly Yours
Hosted by Grandma's Goulash
Every week Grandma posts a picture and, along with it, the word of the week, chosen by her daughter Calico who has not yet seen the picture.
This week's word is nimble!
As participants, we are invited to write a short story about the picture, using 140 words or less, or a very, very short story using 140 characters or less, including punctuation and spaces. I have used 139 characters. There are no points awarded, not even extra points for using the word of the week. But it is a fun challenge to let us showcase our writing skills, and perhaps pick up hints along the way.
