100 Word Story

Yeah, I was reading this month's Readers Digest as I caught the view of this contest. I was intrigued, and I read through all the stuffs and well, I got interested in it.

Stories just formed in my head and I couldn't help but write them down one by one, and then cancel the excess words down to 100 (it must be exactly 100 words). I got a few, and I really love one of them. But my brother claimed to not like it, because he likes happy endings (I sometimes wonder did he have his shared of Y chromosomes in him) and my stories are NOT.

Well, I can't say anything about it. I mean, people are different in many ways, everyone is unique. So I can't blame him for not liking my story because it has no happy ending in it.

Dad claimed to like it, he said keep it simple. Well, I'm always keeping everything I write simple. Not that I'm too pro or something, because my vocab isn't really good, so I need to keep it simple to avoid mistakes. Yeah, it's the truth.

I read last year's winner in April 2013 edition, and the stories they wrote are really good. I mean, it's amazing that they can tell such stories in just 100 word. It may seem simple, but it's not.

So yeah, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to hand in my story, but then I found out there is a 502 error on that particular website. I'm like, WHAT? Never thought I will be this "lucky". Anyway, I think I'll just try later, see whether I can go through or not.

But I think I'll continue to write 100 Word Story (not just for the contest) because well, it helps in improving your writing skills. Besides, it's really fun. You can try it, if you want.

But I think I'll just figure how to enter the website for now. Pah.
