WFTM Post 23

Today we worked on creating very concise stories on cocktail napkins. The subject was toys and I decided to write about a designer toy I recently acquired. The goal of the exercise was to show us that you don't need a whole bunch of fluff to tell an interesting story. If you can manage to tell a story in which the sentences are no longer than eight words long then you will have 100% reading comprehension from your audience. It takes a certain amount of focus to do this. You must find your point, summarize it in one sentence, make the point, and then test the focus.
