Well done on the song. It stirred up a memory from my youth of Superman’s Song by The Crash Test Dummies. It was one of my favorites at the time.

I don’t think that I could do a post in 100 words. I have so much trouble with Twitter because of the 140 character limit. I think I’m too wordy.

You’ve impressed me.

I thought the same about it for the longest time. I think you last sentence really hit upon the idea of it, because you can’t waste a single word to tell the story. It forces your language to be intentional and to think of alternative words and phrases to describe things.

Brevity is a challenge that we all face. It seems impossible at times, but it turned out to be a little easier than I anticipated.

Thanks for hosting the awesome prompt each week. I’m glad you liked the final lines – those were the only ones that didn’t really change during my revisions.

Well done, as we age we do become a faded memory at times, but with talent like this you are not fading any time soon my friend.

Nice work! I’ve thought about entering the 100 Word Song and had actually avoided it for the longest time because I thought it was about writing a song, lol.

100 words is pretty short, but you didn’t waste any.
