Many folk with slide rulers have asked how do you Tom write a 100 word story
The curse of the writing personality is it collects stuff. What it collect the most are observed insights. We tend to be avid listeners attuned to perceiving good tales. It’s a skill that grows sharper with age. As life presents content, age presents context. My advice to any young writer is get old as quickly as you possible can. If you don’t have the luxury of actually being old yourself, sound old. Try on a William Burroughs gravely cadence. Hang out with people in Oncology wards. Not only will you witness age, you can witness the black specter of resignation.
