The story I posted today (June 26, 2025) Sunrise Race is an example of a Drabble, a story of exactly 100 words including the title. I find it fun to write these from time to time. Of course one hundred words is somewhat artificial, even more so because I usually include an illustration or two. A friend of mine suggested going beyond mere Drabble to something he calls Scrabble Drabble, which is a story of exactly 100 words and each of the 26 letters of the alphabet must be used at least once.
Consider writing your own Drabble (or Scrabble Drabble). And if you like, I’m willing to do some pictures to illustrate your Drabble. Send me what you come up with, including, if you wish, ideas for illustrations, and if possible I’ll illustrate and post your story. Or, of course, you can post it yourself.
