“Get in fast, get out faster, and make every word pop”—that’s my credo for this one-sentence story business. I love that there’s no room for anything but the essentials of each tale, which gives readers a lot of space to fill in the proverbial blanks as they see fit. The challenges were 1: knowing what sentence structure would best serve each story, and 2: avoiding any digressions which, no matter how compelling to me, would rob the tale of its forward thrust.
