Let’s Be Brief – Day 3

Okay, by now some of you may be suffering from a mild case of writer’s block. No problem, just get up from the keyboard, walk around the room a few times, and shake it off. (Hey, it’s less painful than Roger von Oech’s method: a whack on the side of the head.)

I finally managed to post the complete list of all 156 entries (so far) of the Let’s Be Brief contest for everyone to enjoy. Actually, there were two I had to disqualify – one only had five words (couldn’t get their other shoe off?), and another exceeded the G-rating (only TWO rules, people, and that was one of them!) But no worries, you’re still represented; just try again.

Some of you are just too clever! One person submitted their six-word stories in the form of links to other people, and each story also described the person. (I won’t say who – you’ll have to explore the links to find it.)

We have many genres represented, too, including mystery, romance, horror, sci-fi, action, documentary, reality, comedy, philosophy, crime, drama, and soap opera. There are also many that reference well-known movie lines. Some are actually commercials.

You’re doing great! I’m truly humbled and honored that so many of you have taken the time to participate, and I encourage you to keep thinking, keep writing, and bring this baby home!

Say, do us all a favor, won't you? We’re fairly easy-going around these here parts, but please do NOT enter a keyword phrase or a business, product or service name as YOUR name in the comment section.
