Brevity is the soul of shit
Apr. 13th, 2007 05:55 pmI am supposed to write an essay for my grad school application in which I describe my experience of a work of art and why it was powerful and meaningful to me.
In 300 words.
Are they fucking kidding me? With the piece I've chosen, it takes me that many words to describe the piece, let alone my reaction to it, although I suppose those things are inseparable.
Sigh. I guess there's a reason I'm a fiction writer and not a poet. I'm not so great at the concision thing.
Hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_xtina - does that 100 words a day thing still exist? I think now would be a great time for me to try it out. Stories in 100 words, precisely. I could use the practice.
