Today I wanted to share a writing exercise I found on Writing with Sharon Watson.
4. Just 91 words
Could you write a story from your life in 91 words?
In honor of an elderly student who died just days before her 91st birthday, the online writing site Gotham Writer’s Workshop conducted a contest. The rules were to write a memoir—a story from your life—in 91 words.
You try it. Select a story from your life, something that you did or something that happened to you, and write it using exactly 91 words.
What sort of story can you tell using only 91 words? Share in the comments below!
