Write a Story in 50 Words
Not one word more or less
Would you like to improve your writing skills? I am always open to ideas on how to do so.
A short while ago I was watching a YouTube video. It was mentioned that to improve one’s writing skills using 50-word stories would help.
Imagine writing a story in exactly 50 words. It takes a lot of concentration to choose words and phrases to arrive at that 50-word count.
By writing in a short format and using exactly 50 words it makes a writer think very carefully. It trains one to be concise and learn how to put across information in a way readers will comprehend. It will be a piece of work that doesn’t go down unnecessary pathways.
By writing in this minimal way it will make a writer think more carefully about the words used and learn new words to replace two or three words with one. It’s a daunting task to get to exactly 50 words, but I can see getting the text to that number will make every word and sentence focus the mind. This would be especially true on the edit.
Have you written 50-word stories?
It would be great to hear from any reader who has tried this method of writing. Please let me know in the comments.
