Many folk have asked Kathy Lee Gifford to come out with line of clothes called how do you tom write a 100 word story. I get paid $1000 a word. Someone at the MacArthur foundation heard Laurence’s podcast and whoosh I’m getting checks that would choke a horse. I could write a novel or poetry collecting, but really folk, dollar to word ratio gets pretty meager. Keep the word count down, damn your entering Bill Gates rate. I’ve also cut back to once a month that lets the creative juices ferment. Lately I’m thinking 50 word stories, that’s the ticket.
